We’ve known and cared for each other for 14 years. From friends to sweethearts to strangers to friends to lovers again, at the heart of our relationship are two people marked by the grace, endurance, and dedication of the other. A thousand sweet moments of forgiveness and tenderness flowing first from our Heavenly Father to each of us, then to each other. Thank you, O Lord, for your providence in bringing us together. Give us strength for today and for the rest of our earthly lives to glorify you in our marriage. Thank you to our loved ones who have run the race alongside us as individuals and as partners, and have provided respite, nourishment, and encouragement for the trek. We’re so grateful for each of you. We can’t wait to celebrate all that God has done and will do in our marriage with you. All our love, Stephen and Sophia
