We met in high school, where a simple conversation quickly turned into something special. After just one week of talking, we went on our first date, beginning a relationship that would grow stronger with each passing year. Over the next six years, we shared countless memories, joys, and challenges, always side by side. In our fifth year together, we made one of the most meaningful decisions of our lives—to come home to the Orthodox Church. Through this journey, our relationship deepened in ways we never expected. Our recent discovery of faith has strengthened our love, taught us patience, and helped us grow not only as individuals, but as one. On April 5th, 2026, we were baptized together, beginning a new chapter of our lives rooted in faith, love, and unity. On our anniversary, after six wonderful years together, we took the next step in our journey when Dennis proposed. With grateful hearts and deep joy, we now look forward to the sacrament of marriage and a lifetime of growing in love, faith, and devotion together.
