Our Story

We met through a shared passion for ministry — two hearts equally devoted to following wherever the Lord would lead. What we love most about our story is that God brought us together in His perfect timing. In the most unexpected season, we became the answers to each other’s prayers — the missing piece we didn’t know we needed, yet couldn’t imagine our work or lives without. Even with 6,000 miles between us, we knew the distance would be worth it for the eternity ahead — a life spent growing together and drawing closer to God each day. As we look toward the day we say “I do” and the distance fades away, our hearts are full of gratitude — for each other, for the blessings in our lives, and for the beautiful path the Lord has prepared for us as we begin a marriage rooted in love, faith, and servanthood.

That Day in Italy

We’ll be celebrating our wedding in a peaceful Tuscan villa, spending a weekend surrounded by the beauty of the countryside and the comfort of family. It’s a dream come true to slow down, share meals, and savor this time together as we begin our life as husband and wife. Italy has always captured our hearts — from our shared love of Italian music to countless conversations about one day exploring its coblbestone streets and rolling hills. What once felt like a faraway dream has become the setting of our most special chapter yet, and we couldn’t imagine a more meaningful place to start forever.
