Mary, who shares half my name, is actually someone I grew up with & have known since the day she was born. Being a few years older than Mary, I was sometimes asked to be an older playmate for her & her younger siblings (& they were always up to no good!) & I have had the privilege of watching this beautiful girl turn into a beautiful woman & wife. Mary & Ruben are such a loving & affectionate couple, & even half a year into their marriage, I can see that there is no end to the respect & admiration that they will continue to have for one another throughout their marriage; they are blessed to be a blessing.
