On January 20th, 1993 a little boy entered the world. September 24th, 1997 a little girl was born. Little did they know years later a love story would begin to unfold between them. Growing up in the same church it was at ages 20 & 16 it all started when I ”chased” him (so he says) around the a/c units, casually making conversation about the service as he was locking up the church. (He thought I was super spiritual bc of this, but in reality I just didn’t know what else to bring up!) Being quite shy this was a big thing for the me, but I just HAD to talk to him. (It’s amazing what like/love will do to a person!) Whistling his way down the hall, I would smile to myself knowing it was him. Conversations, jokes, smiles, knowing glances came and went. As time went on we grew in our own ways. Years later God’s timing brought us together to start the first road of this wonderful journey through our meadow. As Matthew took my hand in his for the very first time on September 24th, 2017 (my birthday!) l couldn’t help but feel like the most blessed girl in the world. I am so thankful to be marrying him. He is the answer to many prayers I prayed long ago. And... it’s almost HERE! -The Future Mrs. Bradley🍂 #LetTheBradleysBegin

From a young age I always knew what I wanted in a wife. Friends would tease that I was "looking for something perfect" and "only in fairy tales". But one day I looked up and saw a young lady following me around the church and knew that this is what 'fairy tales' are made of. Timing limited our conversations. And over the years, experience and growth in our relationship with God our story took an unexpected turn. As funny as it sounds it started with her sending me a picture of a biscuit from Babe's Chicken. We started to laugh and text each other and well, here we are! We talked for 5 months before we started dating on September 24, 2017. I picked up her hand for the first time that day. And now, I get to hold and cherish her FOREVER!
