Our Wedding

When you think about finding your one true love….you long for it, and it's so hard to wait for it. Both I and my fiancée Carolyn have waited a long time for this love and we know what a treasure we have found in each other. True love is found in God's perfect time and it certainly is true with this love story. Our love started to blossom one beautiful evening on August 7th 2016. When agree to meet each other after a brief conversation on an online dating website called OkCupid. We had no idea what wonderful things God had in store for us on that beautiful Sunday evening. Our first date was down at the Wilmington waterfront. The sun was still hot in the sky at four o'clock while I was checking my watch, I was nervous. I knew Carolyn would be walking towards me any moment. She texted me saying she was on her way….and before I knew it, she was there. I saw her smiling face, in that beautiful black and white dress and I fell for her. We hugged and sat down…conversation took off from there. After hearing her laugh, I was hooked. It was the most natural thing to talk to each other….we started talking then and haven't stopped since. As the days and months went by, we spend as much time as possible with each other. Scheduling was difficult, but we made it work….we made it a priority. We also made getting to know each other's family, also a priority for us. I knew she was the one…so I <a name="_GoBack"></a>started to search for the perfect engagement ring for Carolyn. While I was visiting her family for the holidays, I asked for their blessing to marry her and two weeks later on New Years Eve I popped the question. We were walking on the beach, our favorite place to be…and I asked for her hands. It was cloudy, but you could see a bit of the sunset through the clouds. As I knelt down on one knee I noticed my jeans were getting wet. I was right on the wet sand and I couldn't stand up at that time, but I didn't care. I asked the woman of my dreams, my blessing, my best friend in this life and the next, to marry me….then she said, "Of course I will!" It's amazing what God can do in your life and he has brought me somebody who cares for me unconditionally. Somebody who brings me closer to him, to our Lord. We are overjoyed to be together and to be committing our lives to each other in marriage. We can't wait to see you at our wedding! J Sincerely,Ryan and Carolyn
