Signs, Signs, Everywhere a Sign

A few days ago, I was at my wit's end trying to figure out a suitable wedding solution. I was so tired of calling and emailing venues just to be disappointed about their ridiculous wedding package prices that I has almost decided to just not have a wedding. Then I asked God for a sign that I should have a wedding. I asked for the specific sign to be that I would hear "Maneater" by Hall and Oates on the way home from work that day. My plan was to put the car stereo on scan and see if I received the sign, and that is what I did.

I did not hear the song, but I did hear a reference to getting married on a talk radio station. I walked in the house, turned on the news and heard yet another reference to a bride-to-be. I quickly tired of the news and flipped to a re-run of Gilmore Girls. The particular episode was the one where Lorelai was having trouble planning her wedding, and then one day she just happened upon the perfect dress and the wedding plans all fell into place in one day. I'm not lying.

Next, I flipped to an episode of Sex and the City. It just so happened to be the episode where Carrie moved to Paris with that nasty shriveled old Russian artist, and Big came to fetch her to tell her she's the one. Paris + the one = a sign.

As if this weren't enough, I went online this morning to find this blog post from my MIL-to-be. She didn't even know of my penchant for Hall and Oates at the time of its posting. Imagine that! It's like God's way of saying, "You silly little bitch, you don't make the rules, I do. You want signs, fine, but it's not going to be whoa-oh here she comes." Duly noted. You call the shots, dude. (I say dude with the utmost respect.)

As if these signs could possibly be topped, God may not only have told me that, yes, I should have a wedding, but He may have hooked us up with a feasible way to do so. My FIL-to-be has some rather exceptional connections. Things are looking up. Now all I need is a sign about where to get a suitable dress. I'm listening, God. You have my full attention.
