Oh boy .... some exciting news hit our household last week and we are so excited for Hadassah and Jeremiah to begin planning for the best day of their lives!!!!!! They are getting married!
Jeremiah asked Hadassah out for their first date last summer. Their journey together has been so fun to watch and I love how they serve others at the Honey Brook Youth Center and how they interact with other friends and youth group and how they talk about goals and guidelines and life in general!
We knew "the big question" was going to pop up one of these days! Jeremiah and Mike went out for dinner the other week and he asked for Mike's permission to ask Hadassah to get married sometime this fall. We gave our blessing and waited to see when this would all take place.
Hadassah was excited to go to the Pinnacle to take some pictures with Jeremiah! She was working that day and came bouncing in to quick get ready for the night! Jeremiah brought his sister Jendaya along because she was going to be the one taking their pictures. They were off to beat the sunset and get some photos together.
When Mike came home from work, I whispered in his ear that I think maybe tonight is the night Jeremiah is going to ask Hadassah to get married. I just had this feeling. Hadassah on the other hand thought about it a few weeks ago and even mentioned to her friend Jess that she thinks Jeremiah is acting kinda funny. She thinks he ordered her a ring.?. Meanwhile, we had small group at our house that night and we were busy hosting. I did check my phone around 9 PM and said to Mike after the people cleared out from small group that I guess tonight wasn't the night after all. I thought Hadassah would call us if he popped the question.
Hadassah and Jeremiah drove to the Pinnacle and he wanted to go to a tower that they had visited before. Jendaya was there to snap those photos they wanted when suddenly Jeremiah knelt down on one knee and asked Hadassah to marry him. She was so shocked and surprised that this was the moment! He showed her the ring he picked out (with Jess helping him pick it out at Brent Millers) and she loved it!!!!! It's the ring of her dreams! Everything was happening so fast and soon she heard this "click, click" behind her! Here her friend Rita and Peyton were asked to come and take professional photos of this event! Jeremiah did such a good job at arranging all these details! Hadassah couldn't believe that the "weird dressed folks" she saw were actually Rita and Peyton and that they were taking photos of their proposal! So cool!!!!
They laughed and she cried as she said "YES!!!!"
Because they knew our house was buzzing from small group people, they drove to the Petersheim family first to tell them and then at 9:30 PM came buzzing into our home with excitement and flashing her ring!!!!
We've been thinking wedding ever since that moment! Some days my head spins with so many thoughts and feelings and arrangements and plans that need to be made. It's overwhelming at moments but Hadassah dreams of a simple outdoor wedding. She always wished for a May or June wedding so we are anticipating a date in 2021!
We are blessed to have such a great man love our daughter!!!!
You do not have to wonder what we will be thinking the next upcoming months! Wedding is on our minds!
Congratulations Hadassah and Jeremiah! May all your dreams come true!!!!
