We're Getting Married!

Against all odds, Anu and Ovie crossed paths online. Anu had been trusting God to lead her to the right spouse. In the past, she had relied on her own understanding, but things never unfolded the way she had hoped or expected. Though she didn’t know how God would make it happen, she resolved to trust Him and wait for His perfect timing. One evening, she decided to hop online—and that simple decision marked the beginning of her happily ever after. For Ovie, that swipe was the beginning of something he had prayed for but didn’t know was this close. He reached out immediately, and their first conversation set the tone for what would become their greatest love. When Anu asked him to describe himself, his response was both humble and hilarious: “I’m a chubby grab.” The words made her laugh—In that moment, she realized he was different. His honesty and humor were disarming, pulling her into a connection that felt refreshingly genuine. They talked about everything and nothing—faith, dreams, and life’s little joys. As their bond grew, Anu felt the need to be honest. She sent Ovie a message: “Don’t get your hopes up,” followed by some excuse about why it probably wouldn’t work. Deep down, Anu was full of doubt. She felt confused and uncertain, unsure if this was the relationship God was leading her into. The fear of disappointment was real, and it weighed heavily on her heart. Ovie’s reply wasn’t what she expected. “Don’t worry,” he said. “Even if this doesn’t become a romantic relationship, I’d still want us to be friends. His response wasn’t defensive or pushy; it was steady, kind, and patient. That patience lingered with her, quietly breaking down walls she hadn’t even realized she’d built. And then it happened. On a quiet Sunday afternoon, Anu felt something stir deep within her heart—a whisper, a nudge, as though God Himself was encouraging her to leap. She sent Ovie a simple message: “Never mind. Let’s try.” Three weeks later, they met face-to-face. There were no awkward silences, some nerves and a ton of excitement. Sitting across from each other, it felt as though they had known each other forever. Anu saw in Ovie a man of character, love, and genuine faith—a man who made her laugh and made her feel loved unconditionally. Ovie saw in Anu a woman who feared the Lord, someone selfless, and full of God’s love. Within a week, she was his woman. Ovie had always known she was his forever. Eight months after that first swipe, he knelt down and asked her to be his wife. If it had been up to him, they would have been married that same year, but his love was patient. He gave her time to feel safe, to let her heart catch up to the certainty he had carried since day one. Their love isn’t loud or boastful; it’s steady, strong, and deeply rooted in God. It’s the kind of love that reminds you of the beauty of God’s perfect timing, divine purpose, and the assurance that all things truly work together for the good of those who love Him. Now, they’re preparing to say “I do,” knowing this is just the beginning of their journey. What started with a swipe has blossomed into a story of faith, perseverance, growth, and a love that deepens with every passing day. He is her King, and she is his Mercy.
