10th Anniversary

Once upon a time… On May 1st, 1998 a boy took a girl on their first date. He brought her a bouquet of lilacs, which were the girl's favorite flower. The girl knew this boy was special. Their courtship spanned years and distance, but was full of many fond memories. Five years later, in the summer of 2003, the boy proposed in London. Sitting on a bench, watching the sunset, and listening to Big Ben chime, he pledged to love the girl forever. On May 29th, 2004 the two became man and wife. They had the most beautiful wedding, surrounded by family and friends who witnessed their love grow. Their marriage has been filled with sorrow and joy. In every circumstance they knew God's love was stronger than their own. They knew their love could withstand any challenge with God's grace. Ten years later, they are still happily married and look forward to many more years of love. They know they will encounter challenges, but also know they will experience unimaginable joy. They have four amazing children (two on earth and two in heaven), who are true miracles. The girl has known the boy for half her lifetime and can't remember a time when they weren't together…. and they lived happily ever after.
