We grew up serving in youth ministry at Slavic Gospel Church — constantly crossing paths at worship practices (where Daniel was casually outplaying everyone on bass ), youth events, summer camps, and the kind of behind-the-scenes moments that build real connection (if you know, you know… the grill story ). In time, we saw that we shared the same heart: for God, for people, for family — all while getting to live, laugh, love along the way. Our relationship didn’t begin with a grand moment, but with consistency, friendship, and a deep sense of peace that could only come from Jesus. As we spent more time together, we realized that love can be light-hearted and fun, while still deeply rooted in faith, purity, and purpose. Being raised in Slavic homes taught us to honor God, love family deeply, and show up wholeheartedly — and those values have shaped every part of our relationship. Now, with full hearts and so much joy, we’re getting married this October at Edlynn Farm in Graham, WA. We can’t wait to step into marriage surrounded by the people who have shaped our story — and most of all, covered by the faithfulness of the One who brought us together at just the right time. We are deeply grateful to Jesus — the author of our love and the foundation of our future.
