They do not love that do not show their love.


We're getting married! In four days

It's a day we've been waiting for for almost 5 years

We know that love suffereth long, is kind, envieth not, is not puffed up, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil, rejoiceth not in iniquity but rejoiceth in truth, beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, and endureth all things. I am so grateful for Steve teaching me all these things by his wonderful example over the years. As the Lord taught us how to love perfectly, he also taught that if we did not, we are nothing. Without Steve, I feel like nothing. Time and time again he has been my angel, the answer to my prayers, and my best friend. Even with thousands of miles between us, our hearts have never been more united. I knew from the first time I saw him there was something special about him. I knew I would love him forever.


As we've been planning the wedding, we've been amazed at how unstressful and fun it's been. We remember President Monson's kind teachings: 

"Stresses in our lives come regardless of our circumstances. We must deal with them the best we can. But we should not let them get in the way of what is most important—and what is most important almost always involves the people around us. Often we assume that they must know how much we love them. But we should never assume; we should let them know. Wrote William Shakespeare, 'They do not love that do not show their love.' We will never regret the kind words spoken or the affection shown. Rather, our regrets will come if such things are omitted from our relationships with those who mean the most to us.
Send that note to the friend you’ve been neglecting; give your child a hug; give your parents a hug; say 'I love you' more; always express your thanks. 
Never let a problem to be solved become more important than a person to be loved."

We love like crazy
