Ben & Mary Jo were married May 10, 2008. They spent their honeymoon in a beautiful cabin in the Smokey Mountains of North Carolina.

They will be staying in Florida for the time being, as they have a rent-free living situation right now, with a place for Ben's woodshop. They plan to take the opportunity to save up some money toward a place of their own back near our beloved Covenant Farm in Central Virginia.

Ben and Mary Jo have been courting for over two years. They met in Florida when Ben and his sister Lauren went down to intercede on behalf of Terry Schiavo, who was being starved to death by court order. Mary Jo's father Dale welcomed our children to stay there during the ordeal. A few months later, Ben asked Dale for permission to court Mary Jo, and the rest, as they say, is history.

We are pleased to welcome Mary Jo into our family. She is zealous for God and for traditional family pursuits. May they have many children for the glory of God, the propagation of the Gospel of Jesus Christ to the world, and the enlargement of the House of Murch!
