We're Getting Married!!!

Our story began in the most unexpected of places—Facebook’s dating app. We had both tried other dating apps and found ourselves a little disappointed, wondering if real connection could still be found. We were each just about ready to step away from the dating world altogether when fate quietly stepped in. On January 16, 2024, everything changed. I came across her photo and her words, and something in me paused. There was a gentleness, a light, something that drew me in instantly. I sent her a message, not expecting much, but hoping… just a little. Later that day, I checked my messages and saw that I had a match. When I opened it and saw her name—Stephany—I felt something I hadn’t felt in a long time. Not only had she matched with me, but she had written back. From the very first exchange, our conversation flowed so naturally that it felt like we had known each other far longer than a few minutes. We talked online for a couple days, discovering shared values, shared humor, and most meaningful of all, a shared love for God. After those three days, I gathered the courage to ask for her number, and she said yes without hesitation. Even then, I was nervous to call, so I texted for a few days—until January 18, 2024, when I finally dialed her number. That phone call lasted over three hours. Three hours that felt like moments. Three hours that made it clear that something extraordinary was beginning. And from that day forward, we’ve been inseparable. What started as a simple message turned into a love story neither of us saw coming… and it has led us beautifully to this very moment.
