On August 30 of this year I’m getting married! It’s a little overwhelming to think of all the things that had to happen for this to occur. In biblical times marriages were often pre-arranged by the fathers. I’m a Christian - making me a child of God (John 1:12). Has my Father arranged this marriage? All of the odd, seemingly ironic, circumstances that brought about my meeting Stacey has brought about a greater significance to my life. I really believe God is at work here. Just 4 years ago I was bouncing back and forth to China working for a furniture company in TN. I remember on many occasions asking God to provide for me a wife. I mean, why pray if you don’t believe God can change things, right? I prayed knowing that He could if that’s what was best for me. He knew what was best, and as a result my entire life was uprooted, moved to TX, and through the most unlikely of places and circumstance introduced me to my future wife. As I write there’s a countdown on the right currently showing 89 days. The day I was born the countdown began…I just didn’t know it yet. Welcome to the world Gregory, if you wait patiently and hold to what is true and right, you can have your wife in 11595 days…and counting!

Greg,
We have never met, but my son, Ethan, was/is a patient at Cooks and “loves” Ms. Stacey. We always said whoever finally got this gal to marry him was going to be one lucky man, but after reading your site and post, hearing why you choose your groomsmen…it is now obvious, both of you are incredibly lucky to have each other.
God Bless you and I hope you enjoy and cherish your marriage as I have for the last 10-1/2 years. Being married to your best friend is a wonderful thing!
