Introducing my wife Annie Deddens…

We were married this weekend and you will be seeing more of her around the PrayMoreNovenas community.

I thought you might want to see some photos from the wedding:

We haven’t gotten the photos back from our photographer yet, so I will post more when the ‘official’ pictures are available!

Thank you so much for all of your prayers and support!

I mentioned that you will see more of Annie around from now on. In fact, she will be helping quite a bit with PrayMoreNovenas as we continue to grow!

Speaking of growth, we are up to 24,140 people praying together!

  29. Congratulations to you both for this new way of life in Holiness!
    my definition of marriage: Marriage is made in heaven for couples on earth as means to help each other to enter heaven. We are each other’s joys and each other’s cross ~ through time and space, as life goes on… we are each other’s peace and each other’s fufillment.

    Thanks for sharing your beautiful photos!
    God bless your New life and keep you forever in His peace and holiness!

    Love in Christ,

    Claire

    John-Pau you have been doing such a great job with these Novenas in promoting the prayer life of so many. I really admire your dedication.

    An old Irish wedding toast: “Here’s to you both, a beautiful pair on the birthday of your love affair. Here’s to the husband and here’s to the wife. May yourselves be lovers for the rest of your life. If you lie, may you lie only to keep a friend. If you cheat, may you cheat only death. If you steal, may you steal your lover’s heart. If you drink, may you drink deeply of the joy of your new life together.”

    Prayers and blessings always,
    Ella

  39. I would like to take this opportunity to Congratulate you both on your wedding. May God shower you with abundant peace and happiness in your life.

    I just lost my dear husband 5 months ago after 18 years of marriage. We were the best of friends. But we had our good day and we had bad days… but we were always there for each other…. Being married to a Muslim and me being a Catholic it was extremely difficult for people to accept me… but I followed my faith and he encouraged me till the very last day… I still remember, he was shopping for me to open my fast at dusk (it being Lent) and while driving he had a massive heart attack…. God bless him and may his soul rest in eternal peace…

    So look after eachother to the very last day and trust eachother no matter what….

    God Bless you guys….. Have a wonderful life and you will be in my prayers.

    Warm regards,

    Melina

  43. May the Lord bless you and guide you. May His Holy Spirit be upon you.

  45. Hello, I have been praying the Novenas, and my son as well got married on the 8th… A busy time. My younger son got married at the end of June, so it has been a non-stop of weddings, showers, and rehearsals.. Great time had for both of them. I just kept saying, “Onward, forward!”
    Your novenas kept strong, and grounded. Wishing you both, love, happiness, good health, prosperity, fertility, and a long life together. God bless you both!

  46. Congratulations!!! John-Paul and Anne,

    May Our Lord bless your marriage and may you always be there for each other through thick and thin. May he guide both of you at every step as you journey through live. May he use both of you as powerful instruments in his vineyard. Pray Mama MAry covers both of you under her mantel of protection always.

    God Bless,
