We're getting married!

For six months, Chase and I worked at Chick-fil-A, crossing paths day after day without ever exchanging a single word. We stood just feet apart, moving through the same routines, unaware that the person we were meant to find was quietly standing right beside us. All the while, our friend Ariana had a feeling. She kept telling us that we would be perfect together, nudging us gently toward one another long before we ever realized she was right. She saw a spark waiting to happen. Then, in the most ordinary moment, everything shifted. A simple introduction turned into a conversation — warm, effortless, and instantly comfortable. It felt like picking up a story already in the middle, as if we were meant to fall into step together. From that moment on, we were inseparable. The first time we ever hung out one-on-one was after a church service. What was supposed to be a simple morning turned into something much more meaningful. We ended up at First Watch “just to grab breakfast,” but we stayed for four hours, completely lost in conversation. We talked about our lives, our families, our faith, and all the little things that make two people feel like they’ve known each other forever. Looking back, it’s clear that God, timing, and a very determined Ariana were weaving our story long before we realized it. What began in silence at a Chick-fil-A counter has grown into a love that feels steady, joyful, and beautifully meant-to-be. 1 John 4:19 "We love because He first loved us."
