...according to Tickle's Wedding Date Predictor, that is. Haha!

Loraine and I watched 27 Dresses today, and, as if to match that, I saw this meme on Tickle.

Hm. That gives me two years. Although I'm not quite sure about the accuracy of the date—I probably won't get married on September 18th: it's too close to the 17th, which is my brother's birthday and I don't want to steal his thunder—the descriptions and stuff were pretty close.

Here's what my results were...

YOU WILL BE MARRIED BY: Saturday, September 18, 2010

less likely to marry	more likely to marry

Social Factors

On the social front, you are pretty serious marriage material. As you read this, forces beyond your control are aligning to put you on the altar with Mr. Right. It's you, girl. Your number is up, and someone out there is just dying to pop you the question. There's no need to book a flight to Vegas, but you might want to start thinking about your wedding gown.

Emotional Factors

Emotionally, you seem to be fairly ready for marriage. You show strong signs of being a contender, and you've got what it takes to make the plunge. Maybe any hesitation is just a small case of the "jitters." In any case, for Mr. Right, it's practically a done deal. He's just waiting for the right moment, so sit back and let it happen.

Sexual Factors

You have very few sexually motivated reasons for avoiding marriage. Of course, the carefree single life can pose a strong attraction, but you probably prefer the thought of devoting yourself to one person. It's true that there are a lot of unsolved mysteries out there, but once you've found the right person, it's time to close shop. Congratulations on having the strength and security to know what's right for you.

didn't know I was looking for love

And, actually, I'm not.

Haha! Aileen tagged me, among others, to write about finding The Right One. Okay. That feels really weird to type out, but, whatever. As she wrote in her post:

How does one choose? And how does one know that the guy lurking around in your backyard is someone you could trust?

I think it's safe to say that these questions pop out in everyone's heads once in your life. So... How do you find The One?

My answer? Don't look.

No, really, I'm serious.

I'm not looking, not because mortal men don't measure up to Mr. Perfect Hero In My Brain, nor is it because I've decided to be a single girl forever to end up a spinster with nothing but her 20 cats to tend to. Absolutely not. I don't even like cats. I prefer dogs. Or horses!

See, here's what I think: if I go looking for the guy and I keep thinking, "Is he The One?" about the next "potential" I see, I might end up with the guy who might be the one, but really is not. So, supposing that I realize this, and I break up with The Guy Who Might Be The One But Really Is Not. So I go looking again, right? Well, again, I might end up with The Next Guy Who Might Be The One But Really Is Not.

By the time I meet the The Right One, I'll probably be so tired, and maybe I'll already be burned that I might miss him! Rargh.

Um... Before I continue, let me just say, for the record, that I am no cynical girl who has been burned. I've never had a boyfriend, and I'm happy about that. I don't intend to keep that way for long, but...yeah. I'm happily single for now.

"But, Sarah," you might say. "Won't it be likely that you won't see The Right One because you're not looking for him?"

Well... You have a point there. But you know what? I'm believing that I don't. See, I've surrendered my everything to my God. My life, my money, my heart. My lovelife, included. My Dad the King, being the all-powerful, all-knowing, awesome God that he is, knows who'll be the best match for me. No, he won't be a perfect man, but he'll be perfect for me.

Going back to Aileen's question, though... How will I know if God's Perfect Choice is standing right in front of me?

I don't until God tells me.

He might not tell me at once (heck, the guy may even be a friend of mine right now) but I believe He'll tell me at the right time.

Meanwhile, I'll pray. Hard. Like, REALLY hard. For myself, that I can prepare to be the good and super-awesome wife in the future, and also praying for my friends (and especially my Pastor), that God will give them wisdom and guidance if and when I ask them about "my man".

Everything happens in God's perfect timing.
Everything works for the good of those who love Him.
God's will is good, pleasing and perfect.

I'm holding on to those words, and that's why I'm not looking. I'm just waiting, and I'm sure it won't be in vain. ^^
