The first time I saw my future spouse:

She says: “I thought, ‘He’s cute and he’s tall and he’s actually who he says he is.”’

He says: “I think this woman is beautiful and I hope we can have a good relationship together.”

On our wedding day:

She says: “I had prayed and asked God a lot to send me a man who would be a good dad for Skylar and actually wants to love the both of us and wants to be in our lives. She is my life so I needed him to love her as well. It was a really special day because it’s one that I never actually believed that would happen.”

He says: “I was feeling good. I wasn’t nervous. I was more excited and happy that it was happening. I was ready to have the ceremony and celebrate with everybody and then go on our honeymoon. It felt right.”

I knew this was the one for me when:

She says: “We were just dating but he would come up to the hospital and spend time with us when Skylar was there. She had some serious surgeries while we were dating, and he accepted her and did not freak out when terrible things happened.”

He says: “I had pushed the limit on my car and ran out of gas one night. I called and asked her if she could bring me a gas can and pick me up so I could put gas in my car. She was there in about 10 minutes. That was one of the little things that happened throughout our relationship where she showed her true colors. She’s a genuinely nice person who enjoys doing things for other people.”
