Five Years

Today is the five year anniversary of the day when Aaron and I entered into a betrothal covenant. Five years ago, he told me he loved me for the first time, and we pledged our lives to each other... until death do us part.



A Covenant of Betrothal
between
Aaron Lee Montgomery & Jenny M’Liss Stevens


"Whereas the Parents of Aaron and Jenny have been guided through the Spirit of Almighty God in establishing the union of two lives into one holy joining. And whereas our common goal is to magnify and lift up the One who is called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.

We pronounce this Covenant of Betrothal. This Covenant is an earthly institution of God’s design, that a man and a woman should become one, and that this union be guided by the Holy Spirit through earthy parents under the direction and will of our Lord Jesus Christ. This betrothal then shall ultimately lead these two willingly under the wedding canopy to live as one flesh. This is the design set forth in scripture and we pledge our hope and set our eyes on this purpose.

For this reason this covenant is sealed by the earnest prayers and the adoring love of the parents of Aaron and Jenny. We therefore lift our hearts in one accord to proclaim to all who see and hear that on this day, Saturday, April the 23rd, 2005, that our son Aaron and our daughter Jenny are betrothed, one to another until death or the Lord’s return.

To this we ascribe our names and our sacred vows."






“With great anticipation and eager willingness for the glory of GOD, we pledge our lives to each other and agree to this betrothal covenant.”
