Wedding Day

David

I’m sitting in my hotel room now getting myself ready for the wedding.  Well, actually, at this moment I’m drinking coffee, but Yana will tell you that it’s an essential part of the day for me.  I am so thankful to have finally made it to this day.  Yana is truly the love of my life, and I am grateful to God that I have been given the honor of being her husband.

The wedding is in Dayton, Ohio.  For several months of our courtship, Dayton has been like my second home.  When Yana moved to North Carolina, I felt like I was moving, too.  I am very thankful for the wonderful people I’ve met through Yana, and I’m glad to be able to celebrate with them.  I’m especially grateful for all of my family and friends who have made the drive all the way over here to be with us.  Also, how can I forget Yana’s family who made it from literally the other side of the planet.  They took great care of me while I was in Indonesia, and I’m thankful to have them as in-laws.

This is going to be a great day!  This is the day that the Lord has made, let us rejoice and be glad!
