I grew up an only child to a single mother and in all that time I cannot honestly say that I dreamt of my wedding day or how married life would be... for real. I guess my reality at that time didn't allow me to. I never slept over at friends' houses (my mom was strict like that) so I was never faced with a different reality as far as home life was concerned.
It was only in grade 11 (standard 9) that I slept over at a friend's house whose parents were married and still lived together. I was at a total loss. It hit me at that moment that I had never slept in the same house as a man... I didn't know what to do or how to behave! Going to shower after the first night was so funny! My friend couldn't understand it but I was asking questions like, "So, do you just go to the bathroom in your towel or do you have to wear a gown?". I didn't know what the "proper" way to act was. After that weekend I started thinking about married life and I began secretly wondering what my own home will be like.
A couple of years later, I'm 27 years old and I often dream of that wedding day and that wonderful life-long committment my husband and I will make to each other. I look forward to getting to know this man, having his children and seeing the Lord show me Himself through this union. I plan to be married forever, till death do us part. That is the plan and I'm convinced God's delighted by that so He'll back me up in this:-)
Come on now husband, find me already! I'm ready to be a real life princess:-)
