Drew's Perspective: Our story starts not with me and Morgan meeting but instead me meeting her younger brother, Cade, through church. As he shared about his family, I remember thinking they sounded like my kind of people. Not long after, I briefly met Morgan while serving at church. Our interaction was short, but I noticed her right away (especially her BEAUTIFUL, BLUE eyes). Later, I heard mutual friends describe her as kind, FUN, bold, smart, grounded, adventurous, and full of faith. I thought about her often and decided to ask her out. After getting her number from Cade, I called her. She kindly but clearly said no (she also told Cade not to give her number out to random men). I was disappointed but understood. Still, after some time and prayer, I reached out a couple months later with a voice message. She responded graciously but again said no. That second no hit hard. Dating had always been difficult, and rejection felt like a pattern I couldn’t break. Even so, I wrote a simple prayer request and hoped that she might change her mind. Life moved on. I got to know the rest of her family with no expectations. While I occasionally thought of Morgan, I also knew there was nothing else I could do. Then, in late October, I got a text from her! She said I’d been on her mind and asked if I wanted to get coffee. It was exactly what I had prayed for months earlier, I couldn't believe it. I felt incredibly seen by God. We met for coffee the next weekend and talked for hours. It was easy, natural, and deeper than anything I’d experienced before. I left feeling like I had just met my wife. The next day, I asked her to dinner. Following a week of hours-long phone calls, I took her to ice cream and asked how long I had to wait to call her my girlfriend. She said, "I guess you can right now!" And just like that, we started dating. We targeted May for engagement (Morgan's favorite month)...but in my best attempt to surprise a girl that loves surprises, I asked her to marry me on Sunday, April 19th in a beautiful field on her grandparents' land. She enthusiastically said YES, and the rest is history! God is so good and kind, and I cannot believe that I get to marry Morgan Walker...my best friend, my favorite person, and the woman I was waiting on all these years. I am so glad I waited. God KNEW who I needed and when. Morgan's Perspective: Drew did a wonderful job recounting our origin story, but I don't want to miss the opportunity to add a few thoughts. It actually sends shivers up my spine thinking about how I rejected this beautiful, loving, generous, and kind man not once, but TWICE. Y'all, I was really closed off without good reason -- a combination of ignorance, busyness, and insecurity. So, when I had THREE random dreams about Drew a couple months after the second rejection, I was confused. And when my older brother Cole hit me with a "Remind me why you're not dating Drew Price?" text, my confusion spiraled. Why was I so closed off? Why had I made so many snap judgements against Drew? And most convicting -- was I really about to let my ego override God's invitation to release control and trust Him? After a restless night, I felt God gently challenge me -- "Can you admit that you don't know what's best for your life, and I do? Can you exchange pride for humility and practice the trust you say you have in me?" OOF. Hard to argue with that one. So at 3 a.m., I drafted a text to Drew and told myself I'd send it a few days later. Thankfully, I had friends hold me accountable to that, and I blinked at my phone, stunned, when Drew responded within minutes, saying he'd love to meet up too. RE: The rest is history, like Drew said. But let us encourage you -- yielding to God is the better path, every single time. It doesn't always lead you to the surprise of your life (i.e. finding a spouse), but it does lead you to His grace, peace, and reconciliation. He knew for us, and He knows for you too. We love you guys. See you soon!
