In order for us to get married in the Catholic
Church we had to participate in pre-marriage
counseling which consisted of meeting with a
sponsor couple and attending a weekend
retreat, Tobit Weekend.
During the weekend we were supposed
to think of something that represented
us.  On Sunday, we were to gather as a
group to share the "thing" that we came
up with but Scott wouldn't take any time
to try to discuss it.  I was getting pretty
anxious about the whole thing so Scott
said I needed to leave it up to him.

On Sunday, Scott came through with a
beautiful symbol.  Scott said that We
(Each Other) were our symbol.  
Everyday when people see us together
we will exemplify what God wants us to
be.  And when they see us they see our
love and God's love.
During our Tobit Weekend we fell in love with the
song, Wherever You Go.  
We had this performed at our wedding:
Wherever you go I shall go.  
Wherever you live so shall I live.
Your people will be my people,
and your God will be my God too.
Wherever you die I shall die,
and there shall I be buried be side you.  
We will be together forever,
and our love will be the gift of our life.
We met Jeff & Judy Berty through the pre-marital
counseling as they were our sponsor couple.  We have
developed the utmost respect for The Berty's.  The Berty's
are a very special couple and a beautiful example of how
a blended family should exist!  and continue to stay close
to them.  They are actually Isaac's God Parents!
