For four years, Desiree and Brian crossed paths without realizing it. Desiree walked past the history department almost every day on her way to class. Brian and his cross country teammates ran past her apartment hundreds of times. God finally brought them together four days before graduation, and they had their first date in a local park. They were drawn together by their shared values and their shared love of history, travel…and Jane Austen! Together, they have filled their lives with adventure: spending weekends exploring Virginia, visiting wolf sanctuaries and botanical gardens, and hiking in the Blue Ridge Mountains. Brian knew after their second date that he had found the woman he wanted to marry. After a year of waiting, he asked Desiree to marry him at sunrise in a wooden chapel in the mountains of South Carolina—a magical moment that reflected their faith, their love of nature, and their love for each other. And now, they can’t wait to share their wedding day with their family and friends.
