Paynesville City, Liberia
"Love is about knowing when it’s time to lead and when it’s time to follow. But mostly, it’s about two people walking through life side by side".
Asleep on my bed, night after night, I dreamed of the one I love; I was looking but couldn’t find him. I went wandering through the city, through its streets and alleys. I looked for the one I love. I looked, but couldn’t find him. I saw people walking down the streets. I asked them, have you seen Aaron? They said no. As soon as I left them, I found him. I held Aaron and wouldn’t let him go until I made him my husband. Ladies, promise me that you will not interrupt our love.
Song of Solomon 3:1-5

“Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not prou�. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not �elight in evi� but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails" 1 Corinthians 13:4-8
First,
we thank Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ for His daily grace and mercy that is ever so abounding. For with Him, our love will always endure. It is our desire that God shall be honored in every facet of our lives. We the Bride and Groom, are honored to have you as our guests today. We are thrilled that you are sharing these happy and sacred moments with us. We also want to express our deepest appreciation to each member of our Wedding Party, our parents, relatives, supporters, special guests, and friends, for leaving your busy schedules and being with us today.
Thanks and appreciation to our Brother-inLaw, Mr. Michael Pulii Williams Jr. of the United States of America for his enormous support and contribution for ensuring that the Bride’s mother travelled from the USA to attend our wedding. Similarly, our special thanks to the Groom’s brother, Mr. William B. Kparkillen, who travelled from the USA and served as one of the Groomsmen.
Mr. & Mrs. Aaron B. Kparkillen
