We're Getting Married! The Wedding will be livestreamed at Firstjoplin.org/live

We met at summer camp in Belgium. It was the first full day right after the morning lesson. I had dropped my pens and had turned towards the back of the room to pick them up, as I glanced upwards, I saw her. The first thought that crossed my mind in that instant was "Man she's cute". I quickly shoved my pens loosely into my bible bag and headed for the top of the stairs to try and intercept her. After pleasantries were exchanged and we started to talk, all thoughts of her outward beauty fled my mind as I got to know her. It wasn't until a couple of years later that I remembered the reason for which I first approached her.

On the anniversary of when we first met, we went down to the Tanyard Creek Nature Trail in Arkansas. It was a beautiful summer day as we hiked to the waterfall. It was a stunningly beautiful sight, but not as beautiful as the love in each other's eyes when we betrothed ourselves one to one another.
