My Love Story

Once upon a time, in a land far away, my fairytale dream came true. Yes, it may sound cheesy, but I'm not apologizing :~) Here's my story on how Jordan proposed:

As some of you know, Jordan and I had spent much time praying over our relationship. Before we had even started dating we talked about marriage being one of our goals. Over this past year we sought much godly advice about marriage from our parents, pastors, mentors, and teachers.

Mr. C, Jordan, and I
after we returned home.

All this to say I had a sneaking suspicion that Jordan might propose over break. I didn’t know for sure, but I was definitely hoping. Therefore, when he came in to visit me at Steak n Shake one Sunday night and left me a card inviting me to a fancy dinner at Biaggi’s on Thursday, I got pretty excited. Part of me thought that, if he were going to propose he wouldn’t be so obvious, however there wasn’t much time before he went back to Spokane and we were busy each day until then.

My ring! Designed by Jordan himself. 

One of these busy days was Tuesday. I was having lunch with a friend and had some errands to run. Then Jordan and I were going to cook dinner for his Father and Stepmother. After buying a few last ingredients, we made some stir-fry. After eating, I went to pull a game out to play when there was a knock on the door.  In walked Mr. C (a gentleman from our church who helps out with the youth and conveniently owns a couple mustangs). He stated that he was there to chauffer the “Fischer Party”, which apparently meant Jordan and me.  So we got in and drove to Image Air (which is right by the airport). We drove around back to a little four-seater airplane that Jordan had previously rented.  A pilot flew us up over Bloomington-Normal where we could see the lights of Champaign, Decatur, Springfield, and even Joliet. While in the plane, Jordan asked me to marry him. To which, after some difficulty with my headset, I said YES!

Our wedding date is set for July 28^th, 2012. We’ll have it at Grace Church in Normal…and you can learn more about it at our website! (www.weddingwire.com/jordanandhannahfischer)

 Thank you all for your prayers for Jordan and me; we greatly appreciate them!

In Christ, 

Hannah

Dear Friends,
