Our Story

A friend of mine recommended this Facebook page of a photographer to me to "Like" on Facebook. I never did because I wasn't yet engaged and had no interest in photographers at the moment. Well today, I was browsing through my Facebook again and ran across it. Of course, I checked it out and they happened to have a Photoshoot Giveaway Contest going on... and the deadline is midnight, tonight! I thought to myself, "Yes! My opportunity!" God had given us so much favor over the past year, I figured it shouldn't end now, right? I had to submit a story of "how we met or how he proposed." It was a little hard for me to decide which to choose, since both events are very special to me. So I decided on the story that seemed to give more glory to God. When I submitted it, I figured I'd share it with the rest of the world also. :)

After browsing through both the companies' pages, MFL Photography and PND, I find that God has really blessed the businesses with great reviews and the owners with much talent. There's not much I can really say about them since I really don't know much, but all I can say is that I just got a "good" feeling inside while browsing through their pages...

Anyways, pray with me that we win!!! :)

OUR STORY

Yvonne and An both emerged from pasts marked with many trials and tribulations. Little did they know, there was a God who loved them more than they will ever comprehend, and He has been working diligently on every fine detail in their lives. Soon enough, Yvonne came to find Christ in 2008 and shortly after, An in 2009. They met as friends through a mutual friend from their home church they have grown to dearly love.

Though their walks were not always easy, they continued to pursue a true relationship with God in their singleness, learning to trust Him with every aspect of their lives, including their love life. They met in August of 2009 as friends, and within two months, An knew deep in his heart that Yvonne was brought into his life on purpose, by God’s will. SHE WAS THE ONE.

Of course, when he confessed this to Yvonne in October, her reaction was typical of a woman with a guarded heart due to lessons from the past and wisdom from God. Her immediate response was a rejection, and an offer to remain friends. He reluctantly, but respectfully, accepted her decision.

An not only continued to trust God and His promises, but he also continued to remain faithful to his own promises, and continued to quietly pursue Yvonne until God prepared them both to be ready for a relationship. He remained a true friend to Yvonne for seven months. In these seven months, God worked amazingly to transform both Yvonne and An in ways they never expected. Prayers were answered and miracles took place. Little did they continue to know, God’s plan for them was only just beginning to unfold…

On the third of March, confirmed in the timing, he asked for her hand in courtship, and she happily and confidently accepted. Six months later, on the twenty-eighth day of August, surer than ever that Yvonne was his future wife given to him by God, he asked for her hand in marriage.
