Officiated by George Glen Stetler at Mariners Cove - Stetler Home in Dickinson, Texas on March 29th, 2024. Witnessed by Alec Arthur Stetler and Holly Faye Stetler.
"My Son, Ryan, is active duty Navy FMF Corpsman attached to Marine Corps unit. He met Autum at the Camp Lejeune Medical clinic, as she is also active duty Navy Corpsman at Camp Lejeune. They began dating 3-4 months ago and just felt like they found their soulmates. They were coming to visit us in San Leon Texas to celebrate the home coming of his brother, who just completed a 81/2 month Middle East MEU on the USS Bataan.(also a Active Navy FMF Corpsman with Marines) Ryan broke the news to my wife and I and asked if I could become Ordained and perform the wedding on March 29th, on our boat deck on Galveston Bay. It was a small affair with about 30 friends and family and was a very nice ceremony. Very blessed and extremely grateful to have had my three Sons together at the same time after a four year stretch."

Face Me....
The union of marriage is most solemn and is not to be entered into lightly, but thoughtfully and seriously.
Remember that love, loyalty and understanding are the foundations of a happy relationship and an enduring home.
Scripture Reading: I Corinthians 13:4-7 (paraphrazing)
“Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it Is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, and always perseveres.”
