Sarah logged onto her "Christian Mingle" profile, determined to cancel her account. But looking at her messages one last time, she saw a note from a new guy - Benson. They began to communicate via messages and phone conversations, eventually meeting in person. Quickly, their foundation of friendship and a love for Christ deepened and grew into a love for each other, thus through God's perfect timing, this city boy and country girl met and married.
Their wedding day began with Sarah's Granny regaling the girls with several amusing stories of the bride's childhood growing up in Alabama, while a few doors down in the guys' room, Benson passed his time with family and groomsmen. The halls were full of people coming and going with great excitement for this occasion, as everyone readied themselves for the afternoon ceremony at Ashton Gardens.
In memory of her Mom, Sarah carried a beautiful locket around her bouquet.
On this day, it was Sarah's heart's desire to have the opportunity to show her love for Benson in a special way. So before putting on her dress, their time together began in this manner, with such a spirit of grace and servanthood, in both the giving and the receiving.
"Though one may be overpowered, two can defend themselves.
A cord of three strands is not quickly broken."

You never know how paths will cross back and forth through life. We had no idea in August of 2012, when we met Sarah, the sweet roommate of our first Texas bride, that we would have the privilege of walking through her wedding day two years later.
Benson and Sarah, it was so evident throughout your day, that it was the time, place, and moment in which the Lord meant you to be. We love y'all! :)
