"Long before we ever officially “met,” God was already writing our story. For a whole year, we served at church in different ministries—passing each other, sharing the same spaces, and loving the same community—without realizing what God was preparing. One Tuesday night at Young Adults, I prayed for the random young man who was doing worship that night. I had no idea at the time how meaningful that prayer would become. It would be a year before he asked me out, but God’s timing is never rushed and never late. That summer, while we were both serving at MIX Church Camp, he literally swept me off my feet… by tripping me. (Yes, really.) Somewhere between ministry moments and camp chaos, something shifted. Not long after, with full confidence and zero hesitation, he told me he was going to marry me—before we had even gone on our first date. Bold? Absolutely. Crazy? Maybe a little. But as it turns out, he was right. From that first date on, it’s been history. What started with serving, prayer, and a little stumble turned into the greatest love story we could have imagined—and we can’t wait to continue writing it together." -Madilyn
