Our Wedding

Once upon a time, Joseph Nance and Rachel Emlaw attended a far-off place called Harding University. Rachel wished to study the Science of Computers, and Joseph sought the knowledge of the Engineering of Computers. Now it came to pass that both of these paths required education in Software Development, or "COMP 1700" for short. Furthermore, there was only one time and place at which this knowledge could be gained. So it happened that Rachel and Joseph both began their lives as college students in the same class, and even seated beside one another. The acquaintance was thus begun, but it proceeded slowly, as neither knew yet what the future held for them both. Unbeknownst to Rachel or to Joseph at the time, they shared another class the following semester. The relationship continued as it had, a mere acquaintance, with a shared encounter here and there. Then, everything changed when the next school year arrived. As it so happened, the two shared a class again, aware of one another's presence this time. Furthermore, the organization dedicated to the study and sharing of American Sign Language of which Rachel had previously been in attendance came to the attention of Joseph, a man with a passing interest in the subject. So it was that the two met again and in a new context. After the Yuletide cessation in scholarly activities had ended, it was discovered that Rachel and Joseph shared yet another class. Thus far, none of the joint professorial discipleships had been by design. It was about this time that the two commenced breaking bread together in the university cafeteria on a regular basis, and discovering the pleasure to be had in one another's company. It seemed good to them to begin a more intentional coordination of schedules. On the 27th day of the second month, it was decided to found an official relationship with such titles as "boyfriend" and "girlfriend". And there was much rejoicing. So things continued, as Rachel and Joseph grew to know one another quite well, as well as each other's families, and to increasingly enjoy one another's company. They continued to share a class each semester, but now by intention. On a certain day, about two years after the commencement of the official relationship, the two met to prepare a meal with one another using the cooking facilities of the dormitory known as "Cone", as they had done many times before within these two years. But this time would be different. Joseph had prepared a small composition of poetry he wished to share, and when the time of eating had passed, he did so. At the culmination, he drew forth a certain ring and asked a certain question, to which the answer came as a decided "Yes!" And now we're about to get married, and we are excited to see you all at the wedding! -Joseph and Rachel
