I belong to my beloved, and my beloved is mine.
Song of Songs 6:3
We met through a common friend 14+ years ago where we started off as good friends. Throughout the summer of 2010 we got to know each other, and by Fall that year started to date. We bonded further through our shared interest in exploring activities we have not done in the past, indulging our pallets with our shared love for food from different cultures, and through experiencing everything that brings life at its rawest facet.
Later, both young and in love we decided to move our relationship into something intimate. 10 years ago, we married with a few of our family under the courts of Washington. We fulfilled our dream to create a family of five that we love so much. Over time, we noted that there was a missing piece in our life’s journey. Jesus found us again, and in response, we reconnected with Him and was made whole.
Immediately, and in obedience, we dedicated and surrendered the lives of our children to the Lord. Recently, we also recommitted our lives through water baptism as a family. And now, after 10 years of waiting, we finally did it! We renewed our vows under God, under the church, and offered our love, our life together, and our marriage to Jesus.
To our friends and families who have witnessed our love and life’s story, who stood by us, prayed for us, and continue to love us— we are deeply honored and blessed by each of you. To all of you who worked through the logistics, who coordinated, decorated and have given your time to celebrate us, thank you, thank you, thank you!
Jesus is so amazing.
