Joseph and Ceylor first met in second grade. Joseph vividly remembers the day Ceylor was introduced at the front of the class as the new girl — a moment that would unknowingly mark the beginning of something special. From that day on, their lives remained closely intertwined. They grew up side by side — same school, same friend groups, same sports teams and school activities. But their connection didn’t stop at school. They were also part of the same church community, sharing experiences through youth group, church camps, and mission trips. Their friendship was shaped not just by years of memories, but also by faith. By early high school, they had become close friends. Joseph had always quietly crushed on Ceylor, but their relationship stayed rooted in friendship. As time passed, they slowly drifted apart, keeping in touch only here and there during school breaks. Then, in what could only be described as God’s perfect timing, they reconnected the summer before their junior year of college. What started as casual catch-ups quickly turned into daily conversations. Over time, their bond began to shift. The friendship deepened, the connection grew, and something more began to take shape. Looking back, it’s clear: God’s timing was never off — it was divine. And now, it’s forever.
