September 2021, leaving San Diego, an eight month deployment awaited us. Never was there an expectation to meet someone that we would grow closer than ever before with. From practicing yoga in the Philippine Sea, reading books off the coast of Somalia, and praying together around the world's backdrop of fiery sunsets and floral sunrises, we fell in love. We truly believe it was God's plan that we met in that way, giving us a chance to connect around the world. It made the decision to move closer together uncomplicated, peacefully made, and passionately lived. We hope you see the peace and faith in our love on this special day.
