Brandon's PJs For you,

Brandon's PJs

For you, Brandon, I offer these handsome pajamas -- a tad bit uncomfortable for you, maybe, but guaranteed to keep the cops from investigating the bruises on your bride.

And for your bride: Hulk Hands -- these really cool boxing glove-type foam hands will give her the opportunity to fight back without injuring you. They also have realistic Hulk sounds (I was playing with some just the other day and I'd love to have a pair myself).

OK, so I have a couple of ways to help calm your fears -- one for you, one for her.

But if you don't eat

But if you don't eat anything, you'll get light-headed and risk the possibility of fainting even if that's not something you normally do. I wouldn't suggest eating a huge meal, but a little something in the stomach will keep it from growling and help keep you on your feet.

I don’t think I’ll have much of a problem with fainting, it’s the throwing up that worries me. That’s how I deal with heavy amounts of stress – it always has been. I know I won’t be eating much, which adds to my fear of something like my stomach growling during the ceremony, which only adds to the stress. It’s a vicious cycle, really.

Repeat after me: "I will not

Repeat after me: "I will not faint. I will not faint. I will not faint."

Oh, yeah, no vomit, either.

Just take a deep breath, smile and enjoy yourself.

You will survive!!! Enjoy!

That does sound like a great process. I think I may try it tonight with a couple of verses that have been in my head since church on Sunday, 1 John 4:7-21.

Here are a few of the highlights:

Verses 10 through 12 – This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins. Dear friends, since God so loved us, we also ought to love one another. No one has ever seen God; but if we love one another, God lives in us and his love is made complete in us.

Verses 16 through 18 – And so we know and rely on the love God has for us. God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in him. In this way, love is made complete among us so that we will have confidence on the day of judgment, because in this world we are like him. There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love.

Verse 21 – And he has given us this command: Whoever loves God must also love his brother.
