Ruth
Marriage is the strongest commitment any two people on this earth can make to one another. God intended for marriage to be a reflection of His love of the church. Unyielding, everlasting, sacrificial. I think marriage is less about love and more about choice and commitment. When I seek wisdom from those in my life whose marriages have endured and stood the test of time, their answers echo the same sentiment: marriage is hard, you have to work hard at it, and most importantly, trust in God.
DT and I are not perfect and we will never be perfect, but marriage is when two imperfect people come together to form a more perfect union (haha) to bear fruit for their community.
I’m grateful to all the family and friends for supporting us to this point and I hope will continue to support us on this long, arduous, but joyful journey ahead. And I am deeply grateful to have a wonderful, strong and sweet man like DT in my life as my partner.
So as I bid adieu to singledom, and step forward into this more perfect union, I want to reflect on two of my favorite proverbs:
“Pride goes before destruction, a haughty spirit before a fall”
Proverbs 16:18
“A journey of a thousand li, begins with a single step.”
Lao Tzu

Registry
Your presence at our wedding is the greatest gift of all. Since we are blessed to start our lives with a fully set-up home, there is no official registry gift list. If you wish to give a token of congratulations, contributions toward our dream honeymoon or first home would mean the world to us.
