31 days and counting until I finally graduate from college. It has been such a long (5 years) road to get this far. I find myself in a dilemma however, I have no teaching job lined up for the fall and no job lined up for the summer. On top of that, my boyfriend wants to get married in December but without a job I do not see how that will be possible, as much as I want to marry him. So please pray for me as I look for jobs and figure out how my boyfriend and I can pay for a wedding.  

A huge congrats to you for nearly graduating college and your boyfriend wanting to marry you!

I'm praying that you find a job with great pay and that your boyfriend and you will be able to pay for the wedding. Good luck!

Thank you so much it has been a big burden on my heart and mind lately. Prayers are the best medicine!

HUGE congrats on getting ready to graduate! Please be sure to get as much sleep as you can right before the ceremony, otherwise believe me, you will be so tired halfway through that you will hate the rest of it, and you shouldn't hate your graduation. *beeeeen there, wasn't fun*  

I'll pray for a teaching job for you, seriously! Mind doing the same for me? I've been looking since I graduated last May and no dice yet. XD But seriously, I will pray. God bless.

I'll also pray that you don't have a heat stroke during graduation. May your school have enough sense to put fans up or turn the air conditioning on so that no one roasts in those awful graduation gowns. Those things are like broilers after wearing them for about 10 minutes for some reason.

Congratulations for being so close to gratuating. I hope and pray that you'll be able to get a nice teaching job soon and earn enough money to pay for your wedding.

lizzylovesaugie : I don't think prayers are the best medicine.  I think executing and going out there and finding something is the best medicine.

Take it from an old man here: Get... a... job.... before.... getting.... married....

End of story.  You have to find work before you get married.  You'll be married the rest of your life.  That's fifty years of fun and frolicking.  Don't rush it now.  I'm married with a kid and one on the way.  Getting married was the second biggest event to change my entire life.  My daughter was the first.  The entire world changes when you're married and you have to adjust everything.  Starting off a new lifestyle with someone is dangerous when you add crippling debt, no income, and poor insurance options.  How are you going to pay for a place to live?  How are you paying for transportation?  How are you paying for food, insurance, entertainment, clothes, phones, taxes, gas and utilities, and so on.

Life gets extremely expensive extremely quickly.  Without planning, you're going to torpedo your marriage and it will be terrible.  It won't be the joyous thing you want it to be.

Please, please, please get a job before you get married.  You have time.  There's no rush.  Enjoy your relationship with your boyfriend but if he's driving the bus and making you get married before you're ready, that's a real bad start to a lifelong agreement.

God wants us to be responsible emotionally, physically, spiritually, and financially.  Getting married before getting a full time career is as irresponsible as you can be.

Don't do it.  Find work.  Then find a wedding.
Please.
