Bells Will Be Ringing!

Vista, CA- Congratulations to Mario De Maria and Erika Pichette on their engagement. Last night, it happened. On Friday, October 21st, 2011, Mario proposed to Erika. They had been dating for over three years now and the day came.

Many will exclaim, "It's about time!" after so many seasons of being boyfriend&girlfriend. The beauty is that Mario and Erika are both wise and skilled Christians, who would not rush into a HUGE decision and life changing event, i.e. Marriage! This was made evident with how they treated each other while dating.

Mario and Erika both took righteous steps everyday of their romance together to make sure the Man upstairs would be glorified. Not only did they seek to learn each others' likes and dislikes, but they both grew together by developing a relationship with God. As much time as they spent loving one another, they each spent even more time worshiping and loving the one true God.

Mario and Erika both come from amazing parents. Erika's parents are some of the most wisest and loving Christians today, who have been responsible for the stellar upbringing of their daughter. Erika's beautiful mom has chizzled away at Erika's ability to be a lady, an act seldom seen in today's parenting. Erika's father, a legend of Theological studies, has used his Godly Marine authority to protect his daughter from the horny wolves and guide her to find a man after God's own heart. He has even helped shape the moral and religious foundation of Erika's fiancee.

Mario has also been primarily tempered in correct doctrine thanks to the wise attributes of his own hard working dad and beautiful mother. Mario was raised with a family that taught him not only love, but how real the world can be. Even as a child, his parents righteously spoiled him with kisses and hugs, but also taught him the true colors of the world. The Fruits of the Spirit are evident in the De Maria household.

Erika currently goes to Cal State San Marcos. She is able to pull off top grades in her class while working two jobs to make ends meet in southern California. She is loved by her community and sings in the choir at her local church.

Mario works right around the corner from her church at a well respected equipment rental yard. His hard work is reflected upon his brow but spends his free time evangelizing truth to the world. He helps organize the red tape at a local church ministry and encourages people of all races, religions, and backgrounds to aim toward righteousness.

The experience and knowledge these two love birds have will guide them through their future together as a gorgeous couple under God. This isn't a love story of Montague and Capulet. This is a unity of two noble and honorable households, grand and epic bloodlines merging, reflecting that only God is responsible for real love.



Oh yeah, check out the rock!
