How this all went down

First an intern, then a wife

It all started a little under a decade ago. Dr Paul Evans found a pastor called Florent Varak: friendship was formed. Paul and Florent formed a friendship strong enough that Paul decided to bring a few pastors over to Lyon, France to visit Florent and learn more about their church. During their trip, our dear Paul met a sassy girl called Emilie, right in the cobbled streets of the Old City of Lyon (Vieux Lyon). They shared a meal and some great stories, and a connection was formed. Fast forward a few years: Emilie is looking for an internship, and Paul gives her an opportunity of a life time: "Live with us for the summer! You'll have a home, food and a car to get to work with." Sweet, sounds like a golden opportunity. Mind you, Emilie already knew they had 2 sons, as stalking had happened a few times in that time. As she landed in Tampa, Florida, she didn't know she'd be meeting this funny, weird boy who she'd end up marrying. He, of course, fell in love the second he saw her (not really). It only took a week for Emilie to tell Betsy she'd marry Cole some day: call it feminine intuition. As she watched Cole study, get tested, study some more, be kind and loving and sweet to everyone he came across, her love for him grew - it was just a matter of getting the timing right. After years of living either in a house together or living 4,737 miles away from each other, we finally put bad timing aside and jumped in. Here it goes: to many years of loving each other even when the timing isn't perfect, & even when we're not perfect (shocker). All my love, The girl for the boy
