A Storybook Wedding

Our Wedding

When Ralf and I chose Psalm 67 as our wedding verse "May God be gracious to us and bless us and cause his face to shine upon us, that your ways may be know on earth, your salvation among all nations," we couldn't have imagined the rich outpouring of blessing that would be our wedding day and all the events leading up to it. He prepared for us a celebration that exceeded our every expectation... our cheeks are still sunburnt from basking in the warm rays of His beaming face!

My sister's-in-law inform me that it is almost every little girl's dream to get married like a princess in a castle. Having not been one of those little girls, I wonder how I ended up being the one to have that wish come true! A surprise blanket of snow even fell on the church and castle overnight, adding another layer of romance (and creating the perfect lighting for our photos) to the whole affair. Thankfully this fairytale includes no wicked step-mothers or sisters... among the greatest blessings was seeing our diverse circles of friends and family, from all over the world, intersecting at last and not only understanding one another, (thanks to the German's proficiency in English!) but thoroughly enjoying one another.

Many thanks for your prayers for our special day. We appreciate your continued prayers as we adjust to marriage and begin to write the real story...the story of a couple that, with God's help, really does live happily ever after.
