This is a week late, but I am proud to announce that on 5 Raby'al-Thaany 1429 AH (April 12, 2008) Sister Aaabida Marie and I signed our Nikah.
We have a lot of work to do and there is much travel involved. We are in the process of moving to Minnesota. She is moving from South Dakota and I am moving from Texas.
At the moment there are many miles separating us, but soon this will end, we will begin living our lives together in Minnesota by May 1.
For the next month or so I may be difficult to contact at times, but I will be here as often as possible.
Allaah(swt) has blessed me tremendously by bringing Sister Aabida into my life.
Please make Du'as for us that we may have a long, happy life together.
He it is Who sends blessings on you, as do His angels, that He may bring you out from the depths of Darkness into Light: and He is Full of Mercy to the Believers. [Quran {33:43}] www.QuranicAudio.com www.Quran.com
wowwwww alhumdulillah bro Woodrow. I'm so pleased for you and sister Aabida mashaAllah. May Allah swt bless your marriage with happiness, peace, understanding and all the other wonderful things you both desire. Ameen.
Still really thrilled about this. What a wonderful thing!

It was very fast. Neither of us was looking to find a spouse. About a year ago a mutual friend sent me a PM on another forum asking me if i knew of an older brother that may be a suitable match for a recently widowed sister in South Dakota.
I finally responded to the email, found out a little more about Aabidah and realized she was exactly the person I needed in my life. Our friend wrote to Aabidah about me and Abidah felt the same about me. At out age there is no sense in putting things off so we signed the Nikah almost immediately. our lives have been so similar, it is like we have known each other from the day we were born. She also is disabled military. We have nearly identical life histories.
Thank you for satsisying my curiosity, Woodrow.
What a wonderful story! Thank you for sharing it.
Peace glo
Here I stand.
I can do no other.
May God help me.
Amen.
Come, let us worship and bow down •
and kneel before the Lord our Maker

She is registered as a member, Aabidah Marie. But at the moment she is in South Dakota and has been having a PC problem trying to post. (Don't tell her I said most people in South Dakota, have not yet learned how to post on a forum )
I will be up there in less than 2 weeks and I am certain you see many posts from her after that.
