Wedding in Seattle
After spending three months in Hawaii and two months in Asia, we returned home to Seattle and Kentucky - engaged of all things. Our CDTS ended with a two-day debriefing back in Kona, in which we said goodbye to our classmates and staff. I (James) proposed to Meredith on our final night in Hawaii. During a walk along the beach, in the moonlight, waves crashing on the sand, and on one knee, I asked Meredith to be my wife. (I had previously received her father's blessing that night over the phone.) What a perfect proposal - don't you think?
Well, as soon as we returned home, we (mostly Meredith) began making wedding plans for a late May, early June wedding. Once again, God granted us His favor and blessing. In less than eight weeks, the two of us put together a one-of-a-kind event - better than we could have ever imagined. On Sunday, May 30, 2004, Meredith Nicole Neighbor and James Daniel Detwiler were united in holy matrimony at Lake Forest Park Presbyterian Church. The ceremony and reception went off without a hitch. In addition to our family and friends, we were blessed to have many of our CDTS classmates join us for the occasion.
