Our faces in this picture depicts our feelings to a "T". I waited threeeeeeeee years for this moment. I felt like it would never come and at times I got discouraged, but looking back I wouldn't have traded those three years of waiting for anything. It wasn't easy. There were circumstances that surrounded us that made it difficult for us to think about getting married, let alone plan a wedding. Mark struggled and I cried (of course). I would hate hate hate to hear people ask that forbidden "when's the date" question. Those were uncertain times, but I am so thankful that we endured it together. It brought us closer and showed us that when Christ is at the foundation of our relationship that we can conquer anything. It was a blessing in disguise. I am thankful for those three years. I am thankful for where it took us and for where we are today. Mark is truly my best friend and I love him so incredibly much. I know you can just imagine my excitement when I finally got to answer that forbidden question with an actual date!!! I joked that our wedding was the wedding of the century and to my close friends and family it was just that! I felt that sigh of relief from everyone there as I walked down that aisle with Mark as my husband. I hope, pray, and proclaim that 80 years down the road we are as happy then as we are in this picture!
