“Do you agree to take him as your lawfully wedded husband?”
“I do”
Pause, wait a minute, am I a fool?
What am I getting myself into?
Am I really about to give out my entire self to another?
I dreamed of picket fences lined with marigolds
From where I can stand to see the streets unfold
Rich singlehood with a nine to five remote job, just like I was told
Who is this young man with a smile like no other?
God forbid that my heart should race
As I run away after he beheld my face
Run dear run, don’t trip over your lace
He is not the one, he belongs to another
Mother says he’s the one she has been talking about
The one who spewed “I want to marry your daughter” from his mouth
Marriage to a prized jewel like me? I doubt
Worries have taken my heart further
I cried; yes, I did. What if he leaves like father?
What if he is mean and nearly to death, I am battered?
What if he sees my vulnerability and becomes to me a Mad Hatter?
A cloak of fear rests on me as I continue to bother
Do I meet his specifications?
Will my bad traits not make me a constant source of irritation?
What can I even bring to the table? Little things unworthy of mention
Can this city be built in a day? My trust begins to totter
Marriage-done in obedience- like anything else, is a giant step of faith
It will end well if you let the Maker decide your fate
Getting close to His heart, knowing His ways, learning to move, to stop, and wait
Put this on repeat, and you will be ready for any weather
Yes, on this day, I say, “I do”
In obedience to the Maker of this union, I’ll play the fool
I really don’t know all I am getting myself into
But I will trust and give myself to God, you, and no other
