We're getting married!

We only talked in passing and didn't think much of it. There was some attraction, but neither of us considered that it might lead to something else. Over the period of several years, we both grew closer in our relationship to God and in the process, allowed Him to take over in our personal lives. After long periods of singleness, we ran into each other at Panera and finally exchanged numbers. I (Cherish) was going through a very stressful time and Mark chose to hold off on asking me out as a sign of respect. It wasn't until the following year (this Valentine's Day) that he came to mind while I was sitting in Panera on my own studying Proverbs 18:22 and I texted him to check in. He asked me out later that night, and we have been inseparable since.
