On June 1st, 2023, their paths converged during a summer getaway with friends. Without knowing it, they found themselves sharing the same adventure. On the trip's inaugural day, Matthew told his friends about his interest in Jocelyn. Despite the group setting, they got to know each other through conversations and group activities. As the weekend unfolded, the idea of spending more time together took root. On the trips final morning, Matthew took a leap and asked Jocelyn if she would be interested in grabbing lunch or coffee sometime. To his delight, she agreed. Jocelyn, working at a summer camp 2 ½ hours away, didn't deter. They began traveling to see each other almost every weekend. Amidst those weekend visits, their connection deepened, and a mutual desire to date emerged on the basis that they ground their relationship in Christ and keep Him at the center of who they are as a couple. As the semester passed, their encounters became more frequent, and their bond grew stronger. Talks of marriage subtly entered their conversations, paving the way for a significant milestone. And on the enchanting day of December 22, 2023, amidst the breathtaking beauty of Breckenridge, CO, Jocelyn joyfully uttered the sweetest "YES!" Their beautiful journey unfolds, promising a future brimming with love and steadfast companionship.
