Several years ago, while praying for my girls, God impressed on my heart to start praying for their future husbands. I was obedient and began praying for young men I didn’t yet know. Two years ago, Ben Schubert walked into Emilie’s life.
He is everything I prayed for; a man after God’s own heart, a man who shares her vision for home and family; a man who will take the time to find out how her brain works; a man who will encourage her and validate her intelligence, a man who knows how to handle money; a man who values his own family and who values Emilie’s family as his own.
They both worked together to create a wedding day to remember. Unlike many young couples, they kept their focus more on planning for a marriage instead of just a wedding day. The end result was a lovely day full of family, fun and – most importantly – Jesus. They did everything themselves from flowers to charcuterie cups to cupcakes and centerpieces. Friends and family helped with photography and music and the church Ben grew up in provided the venue.
It was a simple and charming wedding.
So now, Emilie Sorensen is now Emilie Schubert. She’s moved out and is busy creating her new life, settling into her new job and her new role as a wife. I love her and my new son-in-law so much and love the life they’re building. I pray Jesus continue to guide them and strengthen their relationship as they keep Him in the center of everything they do.
