God is love. His love is unfailing, patient, kind, gentle, and most of all everlasting. From the beginning, their love for God created a secure foundation. Falling in love has been a beautiful experience, but knowing that God remains as their source of strength has made it all the more meaningful. The couple acknowledges that marriage takes three. The two must be united in love, by love's creator; God. God will be the one who binds them together, so tightly that one cannot fall from the other. God has so many great things in store for the future Mr. & Mrs. Kelly! As 1 Corinthians 2:9 New Living Translation (NLT) declares “No eye has seen, no ear has heard, and no mind has imagined what God has prepared for those who love him.”

The proposal was simple and sweet, which is indicative of Melvin. In celebration of the Bride's birthday, the couple decided to visit Charleston, SC (one of her favorite places). On their last day, they went to Charleston Waterfront Park to snap a few final photos of their stay. It was extremely hot that day as they walked hand in hand along the waterfront. As they approached a small brick shaded area, the Bride sat on a bench, and from that moment, life changed forever. With his infinite wisdom, God orchestrated just the right moment for the two to be alone. No, he didn't get down on one knee, and his words were very limited, but the best words she ever could have heard. He simply asked if she would spend the rest of her life with him, and of course she said Yes!
