*106 Days (Friday June 1, 2012) to Sept 15, 2012*:
Today marks 3 months and 2 weeks left until Martel and I will be Wed!!!
Since January 4, 2012, the moment that Martel got down on one knee and asked me to marry him, we have truly been experiencing such a 'fullness of joy' within our engagement. We started out without a clue of how to start our walk towards marriage and now our Lord has revealed more to us about a Godly foundation of marriage that we could have never expected. Martel and I have learned how joyful, anxious, and exhausting wedding planning can be. We have learned that one of the most important ingredients of engagement is to go through Christian marriage counseling (shoutout to our amazing advisor, Dr. Carson). Martel and I have learned so much more about each other through engagement that we would have seemed to never know about each other while dating. We asked God to help us tackle some difficult areas in our relationship i.e. communication, church, and disagreements that we would dare not yield to the enemy because of our faith in Jesus Christ, we are overcoming those trials DAILY. We have created some super special memories along the way i.e. engagement photos, Martel's birthday, Alexis & Lung's Wedding, Ben & Ashley's Wedding, the celebration of the first day that we met: May 4, 2007, our Gatlingburg trip/adventures, movie dates, dinner dates, the launch of our wedding website, our wedding registry. We have found our intimacy with Jesus, within our individual walks, to be so much more sweeter and when we unite we rejoice about the radiance of God and how unfathomable He is to make Himself available to us each day! Our engagement process has not been the most perfect, but every bit of it has been extremely worth it! First, we would like to give our most humble thanksgiving to our Heavenly Father for giving us the privilege to be apart of the mysterious and wonderful GIFT of marriage on Sept 15, 2012. Next, we would like to thank our beautiful and super servant wedding coordinator, Ariyana Rimson for helping us every step of the way. Third, the Bride would love to thank her MOHs, Amber Walker and Sydney Henderson for supporting her with so much love to help her out with every need. Fourth, we would like to thank our entire Bridal parties for being so eternally grateful to honor us with their presence by being in our wedding!!!
