I told Ashlea I loved her three weeks after we met. She made me take it back. But I was persistent, and we spent the next four years growing up together. Through it all, we’ve seen the best and worst of each other. And yet I’m more in love with her today than ever before. With each passing day, I get a bigger glimpse of her strength, joy, kindness, and beauty. She's simply the best I’ve ever known and my favorite on Earth. She’s my person. —Patrick I knew I'd be with Patrick after the first time I saw him speak at my church. It was his confidence, eloquence, and quite frankly a spiritual connection that drew me to him. It took plotting, namely tracking him down at the Starbucks in Moody and finding a way to borrow his pocket constitution, but I finally got through to him. On our first date, he picked me up with a peach sweet tea light ice from Sonic and I knew that something special was on the horizon. And he just keeps getting better all the time. Despite how dramatically different we are as people, Patrick has remained my biggest supporter and closest confidant. He's the one I want to share my greatest moments with, and the one I can depend on after a long day. He is loving, he is patient, and he is my greatest adventure. — Ashlea
