God truly had a plan for us. We often hear about "meant to be" moments, but I never really understood it until I met him. Colten is my best friend’s brother, best friend—an unlikely connection that ended up being the start of everything. I never imagined that a simple gathering, a second birthday party, would set the stage for the most incredible chapter of my life. There we were, blowing up balloons for the party, talking about everything and nothing, and before I knew it, I felt like I had known him forever. That first innocent conversation sparked something I couldn’t explain. It was easy. It was natural. And something about it told me that he was the one just a few months later. A few months into our conversations, I couldn’t shake the feeling that I was going to marry him one day. I remember telling my mom—without any hesitation—that this was it. I was sure. I didn’t need more time or signs. I knew deep down that he was the man I would spend my life with. And now, as we’re planning the next big step together—our wedding—I can’t help but feel this overwhelming sense of excitement and gratitude. I’m about to marry my best friend, the one who has brought so much joy, laughter, and love into my life. And I can’t wait to build a family with him, to grow, and to create memories we’ll cherish forever. I truly believe we were destined to find each other & I am so glad god put us together, and I can’t wait to see what the future holds for us.
