Three years ago, Hannah and Derek met while working together at Westgate Church. Along the way, a lighthearted mix-up about Derek’s name turned into their very first inside joke, setting the tone for a relationship built on laughter and ease. What began as easy conversation and shared laughs slowly grew into a genuine friendship - one that quietly deepened before either of them realized what was unfolding. From late-night conversations to Derek painting Hannah’s bathroom before their very first date, they showed care for one another long before they ever said the words out loud. And from their first kiss on, Hannah and Derek have been inseparable, standing side by side through life’s changes, offering one another peace, kindness, and joy, and regularly debating who is the funnier one. They’ve built a relationship rooted not only in love, but in patience, understanding, and unwavering support. Whether it’s the small, everyday moments or the big milestones, they have learned to show up for each other fully - with open hearts and a steady kind of love that continues to grow stronger with time. The love they share is pure, kind, and honest, rooted in deep friendship and genuine devotion. They are overjoyed to celebrate the life they’ve built together and share it with you on their wedding day.
