We are getting married on the one year anniversary of our first date, and I would like to include this fun fact in our wedding program. I am not sure how to do it tastefully so it doesn’t sound as if we were seeing one another while still married to our ex-spouses. We “met” several years ago, he working in an office of a client of mine. We were not officially introduced at that time and were both married. We would run into one another various places, noticing each other as someone we’d seen before but not speaking. Eventually we both divorced and there he was again, on a blind date with an acquaintance of mine and I happened to be in the same restaurant. It was then that we were finally introduced and realized all the places we had run into one another so many times over the last few years. Things obviously didn’t work out on this blind date and about a month later we went on our first date, and the rest is history as they say. Silly as it may seem we believe in fate and feel that we were placed in one another’s paths for a reason. This is what we have come up with so far but I am not sure how appropriate it is. Can you help?
God had positioned us in one another’s path several times before,
though the circumstances weren’t in our favor
until one year ago today.
It was then that He brought us together
to share a special bond of love.
Thank you for being here to support us
as we begin our new life together.

Re: [royaltee212] Story of how we met in wedding program?

Dear Royaltee,
The program really isn't used to share this type of information. It can include a brief bio or prayer, but your love story is something else. If this is an informal event and you know that most of your guests are religious, it may be received well. But, if your wedding is on the formal side, it is best to go with more traditional elements.
If you decide to use this, the wording seems fine to me.
