Our Wedding

There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear. For fear has to do with punishment, and whoever fears has not been perfected in love. We love because He first loved us.

Elias' favorite memory with John is: It goes way back to when we were just kids playing in a big soccer game. The score was tied 2-2, and time was running out. Then, like something straight out of a movie, we got a penalty kick in the final moments. Papa Z looked around and said, “John, you’re up.”
John steps up, the crowd goes silent, and he’s staring down the biggest, scariest goalkeeper at 10 years old, he was huge. John takes it and perfectly places the ball! The team goes wild and John’s running around like he just won the World Cup.

That moment right there was when I knew John was clutch.

John's favorite thing about Stephen is how kindhearted he is and his closeness to God. Stephen favorite memory with John:
"Who are you with?" "I'm kicking it with Seeds, come". 
We would just hang out on the corner by his dad's place on 2nd street in Allentown fuss fessing seeds, I lived a few blocks away. Sometimes he would already have seeds or sometimes I'd have to internally-debate whether I'm getting ranch or bbq flavored from the bodega and we'd have a laugh about what character I ran into at the store.
