David and Yana’s Wedding Journal

We saw each other quite a lot this past week despite of the distance between us. It was a real blessing! David flew in to NC last weekend. We were apart for a full day after he flew out on Sunday night. Then he flew in again to NC on Tuesday. We were apart for 2 full days before I flew in to Memphis last night. It was like a dream!

Being apart for about 600 miles is getting harder and harder for us. We’re in God’s waiting room, waiting for His plans to unfold for our future together. We know He is directing our path where He wants us to be after we get married. Please keep us in your prayers.

I am back in Memphis after having spent the last weekend in North Carolina with Yana.  It is getting harder and harder the longer we are in a distance courtship and now engagement.  The time comes for me to board a plane back to Memphis, and I’m hoping the flight is delayed or even cancelled.  I just don’t want to leave.

I will be very grateful when we are finally together.  I know Yana feels the same way.  I love her so much!

Planning a long distance wedding is definitely a challenge.
After our 3rd weekend traveling to Ohio, we almost got all the ducks in the row. I said travel to Ohio – not just Dayton, because we also traveled to Columbus to meet and interview a couple of wedding vendors.

We’d like to take this opportunity to reiterate our thanks to Rob and Lydia, Joel and Sarah, for opening their houses for us while we were in Dayton. It was great to see you and spend time with you!

We are very excited about getting married!  We have wanted to share all our thoughts as our wedding approaches with our family and friends, so here we are.  Please check back as we add more stuff.
