On November 15, 2024, we will establish a marriage covenant in the presence of our children, families, and friends and in accordance with Christ’s plans for our lives. We met in April 2023. Neither were looking for a person to fulfill us, as both believe that Christ is and remains enough for our lives. But a meeting started an acquaintance, and then a friendship, and finally a relationship. And then a choice to spend the rest of our lives together. We are committed to being friends and companions, helping and serving one another wherever we go. In the eyes of the Lord, two will become one. We are honored that our immediate families share this moment in our lives and support our matrimonial decision. Kent’s children and family: daughter Katharine, husband Taylor, and children Christian and Gwen; and Jenna, husband Caleb and son Owen. Eliane’s children and family: son Paulo, wife Juliane, and children Valentina, Olivia, and Zach; and daughter Tatyana, husband Giovanni, and son Vince. My beloved is mine and I am his; he browses among the lilies. – Song of Solomon 2:16 Two are better than one, because they have a good return for their labor. If either of them falls down, one can help the other up. But pity anyone who falls and has no one to help them up. -Ecclesiastes 4:9-10 He who finds a wife finds what is good and receives favor from the Lord. – Proverbs 18:22 Be devoted to one another in love. Honor one another above yourselves. -Romans 12:10
