Married couples, more often than not, celebrate the anniversary of their wedding day. If this is a rule then, Gary and I are not complying. It’s not because we don’t want to honor the day we tied the knot, it’s just that we have a different date in mind.

April 3, 1995 was the day that we became special friends. This date is very important to us because we both believe that it was the day that God made us one. Our civil and church weddings just formalized our union for legal and religious conformity, the reason why we seldom mark their dates.

Now, 13 years and 2 kids after, a fancy dinner ahead in mind, Gary and I are still overwhelmed with this relationship that God has blessed us with. We continue to seek God’s unending grace to strengthen more the foundation of our marriage and family.

 A toast to Gary, Yeye, Marcus, Zach and most important of all… God Almighty!
