It worked out kind of nicely this way. The JP was very kind to come in on his day off, being that it was Good Friday and the office was closed. We called to see if we could get married on that day, just on the off chance that they would be open that day. This kind gentleman, Roger Lopez, was willing to come in on his day off and perform the ceremony. [He had eight day old twin boys at home and told us that Friday was the first day he has been out of the house.] This was also Ben and I's last day of the Daniel Fast - what a wonderful way to conclude our fast!
It ended up just being us and the girls, since my friends ended up having car trouble and couldn't make it and my parent's weren't able to be here until today. That's okay though; we didn't do anything special. Here are a couple pictures we took when we got home. I was going to upload a video Angela took on her dad's phone, but I cannot get it to upload right now.
But FIRST, here is the proposal that Ben read to me on the evening we got engaged. I said a while back that I would post it and never did. So I figure now is as good a time as any!
I love you more then words can describe. This has been a surreal experience. God has truly moved through our relationship. And has answered our prayers. I am asking you right now Naomi Cox if you will join me on a Journey. This journey will not be easy nor will it be anything we can’t handle with Gods help. With Gods hand holding ours he will guide us through. This journey will be a wonderful adventure. So I am asking you today to take my hand and be my wife and share this adventure with me. Through all that life brings, bad or good, may we grow together in love eternal, and grow in our faith and love in Jesus Christ. May we be a light to those that live in darkness, and an example to our kids as to what a Godly house should be. I want no one other then you to share this journey with me. Till we reach the end and are taken to see our maker may we bless each other with our love for one another and our love for others. It would be a great honor if you would become my wife. Will you Marry me I love you.
I hope everyone has a blessed Easter weekend.
45 From noon until three in the afternoon darkness came over all the land. 46 About three in the afternoon Jesus cried out in a loud voice, “Eli, Eli, lemasabachthani?” (which means “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?”).
47 When some of those standing there heard this, they said, “He’s calling Elijah.”
48 Immediately one of them ran and got a sponge. He filled it with wine vinegar, put it on a staff, and offered it to Jesus to drink. 49 The rest said, “Now leave him alone. Let’s see if Elijah comes to save him.”
50 And when Jesus had cried out again in a loud voice, he gave up his spirit.
51 At that moment the curtain of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom. The earth shook, the rocks split 52 and the tombs broke open. The bodies of many holy people who had died were raised to life. 53 They came out of the tombs after Jesus’ resurrection and went into the holy city and appeared to many people.
54 When the centurion and those with him who were guarding Jesus saw the earthquake and all that had happened, they were terrified, and exclaimed, “Surely he was the Son of God!”
Matthew 27:45-54
