A Lot Can Happen in Nine Months

That’s typically how long it takes to give birth to a baby. That’s pretty much a school year and it’s time enough for a couple to meet, date, fall in love, get engaged for one week and get married.

That’s our story and we’re sticking to it. My “friend” that I talked about in some of my blogs, progressed to “WE” in later blogs. Then I introduced you to my dearest friend and sweetheart, Carl.

Now he is my husband. WHAT??

At our age, time is of the essence. We didn’t want much ado, so we had a private ceremony and took the plunge yesterday. Our dear friends, witnessed and married us, and with God, overseeing it all, we are officially husband and wife. I am now Donna Noble aka Donna Wuerch Noble on social media.

We’ll be having a grand family celebration on September 8th. Our families love us and have supported our decision to have a small, intimate ceremony minus much planning, many to dos and expense. It was about us – two people in love, embracing God’s Covenant of Marriage.

I didn’t even know I needed this man or even desired to have a friend that I cared for so much. But what does God do? He one ups us — 13 years and 9 months as a widow and from here to eternity with this beautiful, adoring, God-loving, family-loving, and me-loving man.

We had our family’s blessings on our union. We had friends, months ago, that saw us together, and prophesied words like “It is time; two are better than one; why wait any longer?” We waited three months longer and then Carl “pulled the trigger”.

A week ago, Sunday, I made him a brisket meal with carrots, potatoes, onions, green beans and strawberry shortcake. I guess it’s true that the way to a man’s heart is through his stomach and perhaps that Sunday meal is what caused him to say, “Will you marry me?” It took one second for me to say, “YES!”

In the beginning, both of us talked about how we never wanted to remarry. Our friendship was all we needed. We had many dates and going to many places, enjoying life together. We went from not ever wanting to think about marriage to “someday when we’re married”!

Every month since November 8th, 2022, when we were Election Officials and met, we celebrated a monthiversary on the 8th. We look forward to many anniversaries together.

The moral to our story is to never say “never”. I never thought that I wanted to share the remote or wanted to share my closet space, or to share life together with someone else. But one day, after saying, “I do”, I can say, this was a divine and beautiful match made in heaven. Now, it is heaven to earth for us.

Thank you for your love, my dear friends, and followers. Please trust me! I think my blogs are going to become even richer and sweeter and more impactful than ever.

Speaking of blogs, you might remember my “sunflowers” blog on August 1st. I spoke of how the sunflowers face the sun from morning to night. And that is our determined purpose as a married couple — to face the Son of God, His light, His love, and His life in all we say and do.

Thank you so much to all our Son-loving friends that follow Hm too. We love you all to the sun and THE Son and back!
