We met five days after I moved to Overland Park! I moved in the middle of December 2023, and ran into my college friend, Mary Beth, who invited me to help with the middle school youth group. One of the first volunteers I met was Gavin. We chatted the entire time we were cleaning up after each youth group, and it didn't take long before I knew I liked him. At the end of February I had strategically gotten a group of us volunteers together to watch a K-State basketball game, that way I knew he was definitely going to be there. I didn't have a ride home, so Gavin was very sweet and instantly offered me a ride home. After we arrived and he helped me unload my bag, he asked me on a date! I was so excited!! We had our first date on February 29. We continued going on wonderful, intentional dates for the following weeks and on March 17 he asked me to be his girlfriend:) We continued dating for briefly over a year. On June 27, the Solemnity of the Sacred Heart, Gavin surprised me with the sweetest proposal and the most intimate evening to following. We are beyond excited to have you join us for our special day! Please pray for us, we are praying for all of you! - Emma and Gavin
