Our Story
Michelle
Here is my story of how I met the love of my life we started communicating on Facebook just chatting every once in a while this man kept asking me out and asking me out and things kept coming up, but he wouldn’t give up. So finally after two months of him, asking me out and things happening in my life, we agreed to meet January 5, 2024 at Texas roadhouse, and from the moment that we met that night I knew that God had finally answered my prayers. I have been praying to God to give me a godly man, a man that was strong in his faith and that would strengthen my faith. be a great partner in life. Every night, I ask God, please give me a man like my father, a good solid man that wanted to grow stronger in God together and not just another person to take care of. That night that we met at Texas roadhouse I knew God had answered my prayer finally. There have been struggles, but all the struggles are worth the love the two of us have for each other and the beliefs that we have in our faith and our life being given to God and being good stewards with grace. I know that we will have a very blessed life based on our beliefs with God and our faith, and based on the amazing people in our life. I feel so blessed to see what we will do together as one.

I met Michelle on Facebook on October 5, 2023. We text back-and-forth for two months every time that I tried to set up a personal date with her something always came up first: she said she had to go to the lodge and serve the veterans then two weeks later I tried again and Her Mom fell at the store so I tried again for another two weeks and still didn’t have a formal date with her. I finally was going to give up, but the Lord kept touching my heart and telling me not to so I called her in December right before Christmas and asked her for another date she said that she had to take care of her mom because she wasn’t feeling well. I replied that’s OK sweetheart when we do meet up it’s going to be special so let’s shoot for Saturday, January 5. 1/5/2024 was the day I first saw her, Wow! She looked great in person and smaller, lol. It was as if we had known each other for a lifetime. Right there and then I knew we were meant for each other. I went home that night and thanked Jesus for such a wonderful girl.

A Poem For Mark & Michelle
Mark and Michelle, today’s your day,
As you journey together, come what may.
With hearts entwined, your love so true,
A lifetime of memories awaits for you.
Mark, with a heart so kind and strong,
Michelle, with love that’s where you belong.
Together you’ve built a love so deep,
A bond so strong, a promise to keep.
Through laughter and tears, you’ve stood side by side,
With every step, you’ve taken in stride.
Your love is a story of joy and grace,
It is a beautiful journey no one can replace.
Michelle, you shine with a light so bright,
Mark, by your side, everything feels right.
Together, you’ve found your perfect home,
In each other’s hearts, you’ll never be alone.
Today marks the start of a brand new chapter,
With love, with joy, and happily ever after.
May your days be filled with laughter and cheer,
And your love grows stronger year after year.
Mark and Michelle, forever you’ll be,
Bound by love, for all to see.
With hearts so full, and hands so tight,
You’ll walk through life, in love’s pure light.
