They say God’s timing is perfect—and we couldn’t agree more. Even though Aj and Leigh crossed paths in high school (once at prom and once when AJ tried to challenge Leigh to a hallway race—yes, really), it wasn’t until April 2024 that everything began to fall into place. Leigh randomly decided to go to Southcrest Church with her best friend, Sarah, not knowing that a life-changing moment was waiting just a row right behind her. After the service, Leigh and Sarah were playfully singing the national anthem in the hallway (as one does), when AJ walked by and—without hesitation—joined right in. Leigh thought, “This guy is definitely weird”… and she was absolutely head over heels. Later that same day, AJ slid into Leigh’s Instagram DMs, and the connection was instant. From that moment on, the conversations never stopped, the laughter kept growing, and something deeper began to bloom. Aj and Leigh started officially dating on May 27, 2024—and they both knew that what began as a spontaneous Sunday moment was actually part of God’s plan all along. God was writing their love story all along, and now they can’t wait to step into forever, together.
