No mother wants a daughter that waited until 26 to get married, but it’s what He gave me!!! When I was 26, Irene was already two years old!!! Irene could have had 8 children by now, and my heart weeps for the children she lost by waiting so long!!!!
But He wants us to choose joy, so today I will choose to be joyful that Irene is finally beginning to fulfill her purpose!!! Today, she marries Jin!!!
Irene was such a beautiful bride!!!
Of course, Irene wasn’t going to be the musician at her own wedding!!! Little Xavier is now the family violinist!!! I hear the church has a new piano, so that violin won’t be in his hands for long!!!
But first, the wedding!!!! Despite her faults, one of Irene’s virtues is that she stayed pure even at her age!!! This is the first time she’s touched a man, as it should be!!!
They exchanged vows, including the vow to leave how many children they have up to God!! In my opinion, staying single for so long restricted how many babies God could have given her, but today I will choose joy and try not to focus on that!!!
They exchanged rings...
And had their First Kiss!!!
The after party was wonderful!!! For a beginner, Xavier didn’t sound too bad!!!
Phoebe’s cakes were amazing!!!
Irene and Jin danced as newlyweds!!!
Even though it took much too long to happen, the wedding was wonderful and I look forward to (hopefully!) having new grandbabies in 9 months!!! I know God surely wants to give them to her, L.O.L.!!!

The Talbert children are forbidden from entering the attic. Not because of any secrets, just because Christina is afraid a child would fall off the ladder and break their neck.
Christina and Jeb rarely use the attic, so it's the perfect place for not-so-Godly children to do not-so-Godly activities with that not-so-Godly crystal ball they hid up there.
Downstairs, the living room is the perfect place for Godly children to sit around and court in a Godly way.
With Mary and Irene both in the living room, the most anybody can get away with is a spicy elbow touch.
Exchanging flowers comes dangerously close to some slutty, slutty premarital hand touching, but with extreme caution that crisis is avoided.
Joshua eventually gets around to the reason he came: a ~perfect~ proposal on Love Day to a ~perfect~ fundie girl. Mary, no doubt impressed by Joshua’s ability to hand off flowers without becoming a Godless whore, agrees to marry him. Or should I say,,,,,,,,,,,,,, Mary him.
Jin worries that Irene would expect the same, but luckily she doesn’t seem displeased.
The lights begin to flicker, but surely it’s just the wiring going bad and not supernatural summonings in the attic.
All in all, a successful Love Day.

All and every praise be unto the Lord, our God!!!!!! Jin has finally, FINALLY proposed to Irene, and she FINALLY agreed to get married!!!!!! At 25, Irene sure took her sweet time!!!! There’s no way to get back the birthing years she lost due to her Satan-gifted pickiness, but hopefully she’ll have lots of multiples to make up for it!!! I know God has His plan to make Irene the wife and mother she was meant to be, and I’m so very glad He is finally putting it into action!!!!
Naomi also deserves a congratulations! A good Christian boy, Louis Baldwin, asked to court Naomi and Jeb approved!! Best wishes to the new couple!!!!

Irene behaved quite oddly today!! As soon as Jeb came home, Irene met him at the door and began to talk with him!!! She and Jeb had hardly spoken before, so it’s definitely unusual behavior!!!
Jeb wasn’t fooled for a minute!!! He could tell Irene wanted something and was just trying to butter him up!!! That was also strange, because Irene had never been so hesitant and around-the-bush about her desires before!!! For a minute, I hoped that Irene had finally begun to embrace a shy, docile spirit!!!
Then a young man arrived!!! He introduced himself as Jin Maro and told us he was interested in courting Irene!!! Jeb remembered him from church last Sunday: he was new there, but already well educated on scripture and God’s plans for our lives!!!
Jeb agreed to the courtship, but warned that he would keep a special eye on Jin to make sure he was truly fit to one day be Irene’s headship!!!! The last thing we would ever want is to marry off our daughter to an unworthy man!!!
Irene thanked Jeb graciously and promised that Jin wouldn’t disappoint!!! It’s so strange that she talks as if she knows him well, but I’m just glad she’s finally happy with a suitor!!! Amen!!!
