As of April 2010 my parents are officially married. I am SO happy!! It is such a relief to know ones parents are truly married! Bexar county (San Antonio), the state of Texas, the United States of America and the embassy of the UAE have all attested and validated their union. Then, their marriage was finally attested in Dubai by the ministry of foreign affairs. Now, we are able to be UAE residents. Yes, it is indeed a relief! Cause y'all know there was some doubt. :P
Seriously though, it doesn’t matter what institutions recognize this marriage but what is important is that God does. I am so thankful for my parents and their wonderful marriage! God has truly blessed it and continues to show much grace to me and Andrew through our parent's marriage! Marriage is God’s idea and it is a beautiful picture of our (the church's) relationship with Christ! For we, as the church, are His bride. Again I am very thankful for the wonderful picture that my parents model to us!

"Blessed are you, O LORD, the God of Israel our father, forever and ever. Yours, O LORD, is the greatness and the power and the glory and the victory and the majesty, for all that is in the heavens and in the earth is yours. Yours is the kingdom, O LORD, and you are exalted as head above all. Both riches and honor come from you, and you rule over all. In your hand are power and might, and in your hand it is to make great and to give strength to all. And now we thank you, our God, and praise your glorious name. "But who [are we], and what [are the Montgomerys], that we should be able thus to offer willingly? For all things come from you, and of your own have we given you.
For we are strangers before you and sojourners, as all our fathers were. Our days on the earth are like a shadow, and there is no abiding.
