The Wedding

She was from the West Coast, he from the East Coast.

She from the North, he from the South.

She from Canada, he from the United States.

But, God in His divine providence brought them together in a land of paradise.

The most important page in this storybook union of Joyce McCoy and Tim Smith will be turned on September 19, 2009.

This is the way their wedding invitations read.

It all began in June, 2006 on the Single Adult Ministry trip to Hawaii. This is where they met, and long distance dating began. She visited him, he visited her, many phone calls and computer conversations happened.

In November 2008, on the beautiful coast of Florida, he proposed, and she said yes! They immediately applied to immigration for the proper paperwork for her to move to South Carolina. It took until July 2009 for everything to be approved. She moved to South Carolina with just a month to finalize the wedding plans.

Because Tim and I had been best of friends for several years, I was asked to be a bridesmaid in the wedding. It was my honor to stand up with two of the best people on earth.

The wedding was beautiful. The reception was "Hawaiian" themed since that is where they met.

Enjoy the pictures of the wedding.
