Biggest blessin ever!!!

It's possible that by now you have heard word of my spontaneous nuptials. Well I thought I'd fill y'all in on the details. About three year's ago we hosted a team in Honduras from AAO lead by Linda Mohlman. It was on that team that I met a lady that would for ever change my life. I met Tiffany Daniel Redding (Coach). Tiffany was a softball coach and student at the University of Arkansas. Right away I was smitten. Tiffany returned to Honduras on a Springbreak trip with Linda again. It was that trip when we began to court. I called her mother and asked for her blessing to court and pursue Tiffany. Miss. Bettye gave us her blessing. Between March and July 19TH Tiffany and I enjoyed and endured a long distance relationship. Tiffany came down to Honduras to be with me as I finished out my time with Mercy International. I had been praying for a wife for years. But I didn't want just any woman, I'd been praying for a special lady. G-d gave me better than I could have ever asked for or hoped for. Tiffany is amazing. It takes about a second with her to realize she is a Proverbs 31 kinda lady. It took about second with her to know that she was the one I wanted for life.
From the begining of our courtship Tiff and I knew that we were looking at a life together. We had been talking about marrage, but i think we were looking at some time in the fall. When we were finally together in Honduras after months of long distance courting it was amazing. Tiff and I spoke to Henry Lowman and told him that we wanted him to marry us in the fall. Henry said well why not just get married here. Tiff and I stood on a beach on the carribbean coast and I asked her if I was to ask her to marry me what she would say. She told me she would "say yes." I asked her if I would swing it and make it happen, if she would want to get married there in Honduras. She said "yes." When we got back to Yamaranguila I set out on a mission. The 28Th of July was my birthday. Tiff and I had a spat. I walked away frustraited. The next morning at seven o'clock we still got together to like we had every morning. I told her I was sorry I walked away and that I would never do that to her again. I asked her again if she still wanted to marry me. And she said "yes." I found a justice of the peace to marry us. After leaving his office I stopped by a little store and found a little ring. I went to the park in Yamaranguila where Tiff was working with a youth team. I waite until lunch and I called Miss. Bettye again and I asker her for her blessing to marry her daughter. She gave me her blessing. So while the team was having lunch I got down on a knee infront of Tiffany and I asked her to marry me. I put the ring on her finger and she said "yes." I then told her we had to go to the medical clinic and get a test so we could get married. She had been working and playing soccor. She wanted to get cleaned up. We ran around like headless chickens. We had to be at the justice of the peaces office by three o'clock. The race was on. They got a ring and flowers and the whole nine yards in about fifeteen minutes. At three fourty five in the afternoon in the Honduran jp's office Tiffany maid me happest I'd ever been upto that point, she said I do. G-d is so good and I am so blessed. For me the decision was a know brainer. I could not live a second more without her. I finally got to met Miss. Bettye. She is such a blessing.

I have to admit that I never thought anyone would be good enough for her ... but God delights in proving me wrong when I think I know best and so He sent you. Not just good enough for her, but perfect for her. So glad to finally meet you and be a part of your lives for a little while. I've already come to love you and I know I'm going to miss you too when you two leave, not just her!
