“Raising confident, strong, independent women, the question was asked many a time; how do you find a man that will both lead you and be the wind beneath your wings?”

Stephanie’s dad went on to explain how Mark does exactly that for his daughter. Mark knows when to step forward, when to encourage others to use their gifts, when to raise a hand and say, “I’ll do it!”, when to applaud the efforts of his friends. He knows when to lead his wife & be the wind beneath her wings at the same time.

Stephanie is the life of the party. Her presence in a room is known not just by her laugh, but by the way she carries herself. She is confident & gentle, seeking people out & maintaining eye contact with everyone she speaks to; your heart feels seen by hers.

Together they’re refining each other to be exactly who God made them to be & that kind of fire is felt by everyone around them. They know this life has more to it than what the world offers & they’re fighting for all that is good & worthy of celebrating. The deep well of hope & peace in their hearts overflows as joy – the can’t stop smiling, how is this real life, thank you Jesus kind of joy.

And their marriage? These two becoming one is definitely good & worthy of celebrating.

Mark & Stephanie, it was an honour to be with you two. You are powerful on your own, but man alive, together you are a force to reckon with.
