As most of you know, Ian and I met on the internet nearly TEN years ago. He was a "bloke" from England and I was just a girl from the south! Though Ian had never been to the US before, he decided to take a chance and fly over to South Carolina in April of 1998 to meet me. We knew that we were meant to be together and he flew back to England to put his affairs in order. He returned two weeks later, and we were married on June 27, 1998. The rest, as they say, is history. The only thing we regret about our beautiful wedding is that we were not able to take any type of a honeymoon.

Ian and I have been through many trials in our first ten years of marriage. God has seen us through all of them and we are stronger and wiser. We have been blessed with three beautiful children and are happy to say that God is first in their lives. It only seems fitting to us to mark our tenth anniversary (and new life in Christ) with the renewing of our wedding vows on June 28, 2008 at 4 o'clock in the afternoon at Wagener Pentecostal Holiness Church, 105 Holiness Church Rd, Wagener, South Carolina. Everyone is invited to attend, as your support would mean so very much to us!

There will be a reception immediately following the service at the Courtney Senior Center, Roy Street, Wagener, South Carolina. Please come and spend time with us as we celebrate this milestone in our lives.

We are planning a wonderful trip to Myrtle Beach, South Carolina on July 1 through July 8, 2008. Part of this week will be spent as the honeymoon we never got to take, and the other part will be our family vacation....(our kids will be at YOUTH CAMP for their very first year!!! ) Instead of traditional gifts, we would love for you to help us make memories on this trip of a lifetime for us.

We want to thank each and every one of you for your love, support, and prayers that we see present in our daily lives. It means so much to us. We can't wait to see you at our Vow Renewal Ceremony on Saturday, June 28, 2008!!
