Our Wedding

Welcome to a celebration of love, where our journey unfolds not through a traditional narrative but through the heartfelt verses we've penned for each other. As we courted, we found poetry to be the most intimate expression of our emotions, capturing the essence of our connection in a way that prose could never convey. Instead of sharing a detailed recount of our story, we invite you to experience the profound love we share through the poems we wrote during our courtship. Each line is a testament to our devotion, the dreams we hold, and the beautiful future we are building together. Enjoy this poetic journey with us as we celebrate our union.

A girl like you is so rare to find,You're beautifully made, both body and mind. I fell for you quick, you've captured my heart.You're hard to resist but let's play it smart. We must please Jehovah, and do it his way.We know he will bless us, we'll be wise and obey. I'm so grateful I met you, you're caring and kind.If my anxiety flares, you'll make it unwind. Your beauty unmatched, a true work of art.If my attraction was scaled, then you'd top the chart. I think you are amazing, what else can I say?Except my love for you grows, more and more everyday.

A poem for the man I'm dreaming of.&nbsp;&nbsp;Never thought him real,&nbsp;&nbsp;Until I came to Desert Hill. Comforting, determined, kind,&nbsp;&nbsp;Words to describe you.&nbsp;&nbsp;Strength and integrity,&nbsp;&nbsp;Words called to mind. Dreaming with eyes wide open&nbsp;&nbsp;Into your green gaze,&nbsp;&nbsp;Seeing my future there,&nbsp;&nbsp;Awaiting our happiest days. Serving Jehovah in the ministry,&nbsp;&nbsp;Yet longing to do more,&nbsp;&nbsp;Perhaps a three-fold cord&nbsp;&nbsp;Is what I am yearning for. Your name means lucky.&nbsp;&nbsp;How can that be?&nbsp;&nbsp;If luck was real,&nbsp;&nbsp;The lucky one is me.Wō Ài Nī

The Man I Am Dreaming of

From the moment we met, you’ve taken my heart.&nbsp;&nbsp;I knew it was real, right from the start.&nbsp;&nbsp;Both my mother and sister said I just HAD to meet you!&nbsp;&nbsp;She’s your female version; she loves the things you do! I’ll always remember the first time we met, your breathtaking smile that I’ll never forget.&nbsp;&nbsp;Saw you in the mirror and said, “Wow, she’s hot!”&nbsp;&nbsp;She might be the one, and I’m not throwing away my shot! We then saw a movie, passing back and forth a glance.&nbsp;&nbsp;I felt it from there; it was truly romance.&nbsp;&nbsp;We kept talking and talking, building feelings each day.&nbsp;&nbsp;I couldn’t stand it anymore! I’m telling her today! With a bouquet of flowers, I walked up to your door. I couldn’t bear to hide my feelings even one second more!&nbsp;&nbsp;I felt my heart pounding; I was really quite scared. Then I prayed to Jehovah, and he made me prepared.&nbsp;&nbsp;I knocked, and you opened with the most breathtaking smile. I said, “I like you a lot!”&nbsp;&nbsp;Your response took a while. Anticipation built, then suddenly you grinned, “I feel the same way!” My nervousness rescinded.&nbsp;&nbsp;From that very day that I knocked on your door, I knew you were the one I’d always love and adore.&nbsp;&nbsp;You moved back to your home, only one state away. I wish there was somehow, someway you could stay.&nbsp;&nbsp;I went out for your baptism, beaming with pride. I couldn’t contain the joy that I felt inside! We made it official and shared our first kiss, the moment I finally experienced true bliss.&nbsp;&nbsp;We’re now in the present, still writing our story. You make life so fun, beautiful, and never boring.&nbsp;&nbsp;Like the last poem ended, what else can I say, except I continue loving you more and more every day!
