We will start the story of how we met from the beginning. We first met each other at church about 8 years ago. Thinking about it now, we’ve known each other for a very long time. But during that time, we did not see each other in any sort of romantic way. About 4 years ago, our seeing each other in church and saying casual Hi’s turned into us having more conversations with each other and ultimately, we became friends (still haven’t discovered our feelings for each other at this point). After a year of being friends, we started to notice how much we enjoyed each other’s company and our mutual respect for one another. Then one day, without any plans or thought it happened, we discovered that we had feelings for each other, strong ones, real ones, one that would make you want to spend the rest of your life with that person. Then voila! here we are getting married. It’s been a process and a journey getting here but we thank God for His grace that got us here.
