Hooper's... Take Two

It's hard to believe that Bradley & I have been back together for almost six months. We have been through hell & back and are still going strong! With that being said.. We have decided to get remarried!! We had planned on getting married on our wedding anniversary (June 18th) but why should we wait til then when we know we are going to be together?? AND another reason I don't want to get married on June 18th, is because our divorce was finalized that day- isn't that ironic? Not long after our divorce was finalized (since I never imagined that Bradley & I would be back together, much less remarried) I sold my wedding rings. As bad as I hate to admit it, I don't regret it. Those rings didn't mean anything, and neither did our vows. 

One of the most important people in my childhood was my grandmother Ma Jane. Ma passed away in 2007. She had 9 rings that she left behind for her daughters, granddaughters & great granddaughters. The ring that I picked out, she wore everyday & it is so vintage looking to me. Ironically it only fits on my left hand ring finger. I never really wore it once I got married since it didn't fit on any other fingers. 

When Bradley & I were getting married in 2011, I wanted Bro. Jon Powell to marry us. Bro. Jon was the music director at the church I grew up at- New Friendship Baptist Church. Bro. Jon and his family had moved and I wasn't sure how to get in touch with him (didn't think about Facebook) so we had the preacher at Bradley's grandparents church marry us. 

God works in such mysterious ways. 

In March Bradley & I will be remarried in the church we are both members of by our Preacher Bro. Jon Powell and I will wear my Grandmother Ma Jane's ring as my wedding ring.

This go around is different. It IS til death do us part, there is NO walking away. No argument or disagreement is worth losing what God has given us another chance at. Bradley is my soulmate and I will forever fight for our love, our marriage and for him.
