Place me like a seal over your heart, like a seal on your arm; for love is as strong as death, its jealousy unyielding as the grave. It burns like blazing fire, like a mighty flame. Many waters cannot quench love; rivers cannot sweep it away.
~ Song of Solomon 8:6-8 ~
GALLERY
I have found the one whom my soul loves.
~ Song of Solomon 3:4 ~
While no overt gestures of affection were made, they spent the next three weeks becoming friends through mealtime conversations, ultimate frisbee competitions, and participation in the music and photography camps. Sameer kept referring to her as his “crush” to a select few guy friends at camp, and Rachel kept being told by others that Sameer didn’t like her like that, and was just a nice person to everyone.
Your presence will be
our cherished memory!

Looking at this website and all your pictures makes me so very happy for you two. Sameer, you have been one of my closest friends for many years. You have stood beside me through some of the best and worst moments of my life; always providing encouragement, prayers, and honest advice. We have talked about this day coming for many years, throughout our many adventures, and it is such an honor to be able to share this day with you (the beginning of the ultimate lifelong adventure). And Rachel, I had such a great time getting to know you in Colorado last winter and I am so excited to be able enjoy many more adventures with you and Sameer in the coming years. You two will rock the world together and I am very proud of you both. See you in May!!! — Dan

Beautiful Rachel, inside and out.
So happy you have found your true love
and that he loves the Lord as you do.
Timing is everything. We’d committed to
another event before knowing of your celebration in FL.
I’m sure it will be one of great fun and fellowship
getting to meet Sameer’s family & friends. We will be with
you in spirit. Having so many others there will lessen
our absence and give you the opportunity to get to
know his friends and family better. God bless your union!

Tami (Grunstra)Shockley
I certainly wish you both the best. Remember there will be good times and bad times-and GREAT times. May your times together be GREAT! Love each other and you will get through anything. Remember your vows- there is a reason that you say them. I could go on as many will with advice …But I will not as I am still learning in my own marriage.(never too old to learn).
I have enjoyed the pictures of you both- Thank you for sharing and thank you for the invites. Take care.
