After lengthy conversations about what marriage meant and what we wanted from it, I (Abbey) asked Graham, “Do you want to see how we do as a couple?”. Asking this question did not come without difficulty, but we both had a good idea of what this meant and what we were headed toward almost immediately. Graham had pursued me off and on through out the years... but I had always been too affraid to take the plunge of uncertainty despite how much I wanted to be with him. I knew that commiting to him would change my world completely... and it totally did. We have since leaned into utmost honesty about our brokeness, our stories/process, and the truth about our neediness in Christ. It’s made for a relationship that is free, affectionate and playful... while also being a catalyst for confronting the ugly truth about how we can exist in this broken world. Having been friends for 8+ years, and crushing on one another for the last 3 or 4, it’s about dang time we got this good thing going. Graham sealed the deal and preposed to me in Kansas City and now we’re engaged to be married on November 9th!
