Mr. and Mrs. Parker Megow Parker and I have known each other
(Anna Godwin) how we met, we cannot tell them

our whole lives. When people ask
because neither of us remembers.
Our parents have been friends
since before we were born, and we
grew up going on trips together and
playing at each other’s houses. In
middle school and high school we
frequently went to events and dances
as a couple. Parker told people when
we were in middle school that he
was going to marry me. Because we
were so young at the time no one
took him seriously. How surprised
everyone must have been to receive
the wedding invitations! However,
it was not until both of us were in
college that our relationship became
serious. We found that the more
we sought the Lord, the more our
love for each other strengthened.
He proposed in February one night
while we were at home church. We
were so excited and could not wait
to get married! When June finally
came, we were both ready to become
husband and wife. We got married
in June at Quail Branch and boy was
it warm out that day, warm with love
and the summer’s heat. Looking
back on it all it is amazing how the
Lord orchestrated everything. There
is nothing like being married to the
one the Lord intended for me to
marry. We knew each other for so
long it has been so fulfilling to finally
be together as one. Being married
has helped us understand how much
the Lord wants to be united to the
church again! We are so thankful
and so happy the Lord brought us
together! Our marriage gets better
every day, and we are excited to see
where the Lord leads us next.
