Our story is one that began long before either of us realized it. Long before we officially met, our lives had already been intertwined through family, church, and faith. Our parents grew up together, our aunts and uncles grew up together, and somehow, through years of holidays, church events, special services, and countless moments in the same places, we had never truly found each other. Looking back now, it feels impossible that we hadn’t noticed one another before. We must have crossed paths countless times. But through it all, God was writing a story far greater than we could see at the time. His timing was preparing both of us for the moment our lives would finally come together. That moment came at a youth event neither of us could have predicted would change everything. What started as a funny push from friends became the beginning of something neither of us expected. In that brief moment, standing there together, something felt different. There was a comfort, a curiosity, and a peace that only the Lord could have orchestrated. From that day forward, our relationship became a testimony to God’s perfect timing and faithfulness. Through every season — the highs, the challenges, the growth, and the joy — we have continued to see His hand guiding our lives and our relationship. From dating, to engagement, and now to this moment, Christ has remained at the center of our story. We are so thankful for the love, support, and prayers that have surrounded us along the way. Thank you for being part of this journey with us. We are excited to begin this next chapter together and cannot wait to see what God has in store for our future.
