We met at a church camp when we were just 14 and 15, and we instantly connected in a way neither of us could explain. What began as a simple, sweet bond kept finding its way back into our lives as we grew. Looking back, we know God was already writing our story, guiding us from that first moment to the life we’re building together today.

As we grew up, life pulled us in different directions, yet we found our way back to each other. After years of reconnecting and feeling that same ease between us, he asked me to be his girlfriend with intention and clarity, marking the true beginning of our journey together.

We were celebrating our 3-year anniversary, and as the sun began to set, we drove toward a castle by the beach. I could feel his excitement and the intention behind every detail he planned. It was the kind of evening you never forget, one that shifts something in your heart before you even realize it, and the moment that led us to the “yes” that changed everything.
