It was a day late.
Our original wedding date was set for January 29th,
but thanks to an ice storm the entire state of Georgia was frozen…no one was
going anywhere.
Our wedding was cancelled.
I cried. A lot.
Our wedding was cancelled.
I cried. A lot.
We were married the next day.
Now, 12 years later, I reflect on this major life event and
can’t help but laugh. I mean really, rrrrreeeaaallly laugh. It was the train
wreck of all train wrecks. I was Bridezilla at her finest, in complete psycho
mode without an ice-free sidewalk to stand on. My “dream wedding” was hardly
the fairytale I had been planning for. But at the end of the day we were married,
and that was all that mattered…right?
This day used to make me sad. January 30th had been a day when I
would take a stroll down memory lane with a box of Kleenex (and carbs…). One
year I even landed my minivan in a ditch (thank you very much ice storm of
2014). You can read my blog post from that night here.
But guess what? The days of sappy nostalgia on January 30th are over. Will I always
remember this day with fond memories? Absolutely. I will never regret marrying
him because the two beautiful children we have together were worth every ounce
of heartache. But the crying is over.
In preparing to share this tonight I’ve been thinking… how can
I relate this story to our readers? Why in the world would you care about my
wedding story (or my divorce for that matter?)
In an effort to connect the dots, and in honor of what would
have been 12 years, I share with you…
12 Years, 12 Lessons:
- The state of Georgia should ban weddings on January 29th or 30th (unless you're going for a Frozen theme with Elsa, Anna and Olaf)
- Just because you got divorced doesn't mean your marriage was a mistake.
- Ex-wives have a lot more in common than you think.
- It's okay to look at old wedding pictures...and cry. (I saved ours because I wanted our children to have memories of their parents together).
- One should never attempt to drive a minivan on icy roads during an ice storm. *side note: if you are a newly single mama please do not buy a minivan unless you absolutely have to...seriously. Don't believe me? Check this out.
- I should have been nicer to my stepmother.
- The pain you might be feeling now is real...but it won't last forever.
- Co-parenting with you ex is the most important piece of the parenting puzzle. Your kids didn't ask for a divorce.
- Boyfriends come and go but girlfriends are forever (7th grade advice from my mom).
- Even on your worst day there is someone out there who's got it worse. Be grateful.
- To live your dream life you must write your own fairy tale.
- Some of life's greatest blessings come from your greatest heartaches.
Life has a funny way of coming full circle. God’s blessings
are hidden in the brokenness.
If I hadn’t gotten married I would have never gotten
divorced…and without this divorce I would have never met Valerie…and without
Valerie our book, The Ex-Wives’ Guide to Divorce, wouldn’t exist.
Was this the fairy tale I dreamed of on January 30, 2005?
Absolutely not.
But I wouldn’t change a thing...well, maybe the minivan J

Hello, I am Theresa Williams After being in relationship with Anderson for years, he broke up with me, I did everything possible to bring him back but all was in vain, I wanted him back so much because of the love I have for him, I begged him with everything, I made promises but he refused. I explained my problem to my friend and she suggested that I should rather contact a spell caster that could help me cast a spell to bring him back but I am the type that never believed in spell, I had no choice than to try it, I mailed the spell caster, and he told me there was no problem that everything will be okay before three days, that my ex will return to me before three days, he cast the spell and surprisingly in the second day, it was around 4 pm. My ex called me, I was so surprised, I answered the call and all he said was that he was so sorry for everything that happened that he wanted me to return to him, that he loves me so much. I was so happy and went to him that was how we started living together happily again. Since then, I have made promise that anybody I know that have a relationship problem, I would be of help to such person by referring him or her to the only real and powerful spell caster who helped me with my own problem. email: drogunduspellcaster@gmail.com you can email him if you need his assistance in your relationship or any other Case.

ReplyDeletecalled Dr Ekhiaye, which i met online. On one faithful day, as I was browsing through the internet, I came across allot of testimonies about this particular spell caster. Some people testified that he brought their Ex lover back, some testified that he restores womb,how he cured them of HIV/AIDS and other sickness, some testified that he can cast a spell to stop divorce and so on. i also come across one particular testimony, it was about a woman called Sonia, she testified about how he brought back her Ex lover in less than 7 days, and at the end of her testimony she dropped Dr Ekhiaye's e-mail address. After reading all these, I decided to give it a try. I contacted him via email and explained my problem to him. In just 72 hours, my husband came back to me. We resolved our issues, and we are even happier than before Dr Jack, He is really a gifted man and i will not stop publishing him because he is a wonderful man...
