Grace: "Lance and I met in December of 2022 on Hinge (the last place I expected to find my future husband). We matched about a week after I first downloaded the app, and he immediately became my favorite person to talk to. After a six-hour-long first date, the app was gone. Lance and I realized after a few dates that this could be the real thing, and I knew after a month or so that he would be my husband. God used Lance to heal so many wounds in my heart. He showed me that I was worthy of being known and loved on a deeper level than I previously thought was possible, and he has been a constant source of encouragement and support for me. Lance is more than just a good guy who I get along with and love being around. He genuinely is everything I have ever wanted and more, and he pushes me to grow into the person I was created to be. I know without a shadow of a doubt God Himself put us together, and I've been blessed abundantly with someone so loving, unwavering and devoted to being the man God calls him to be. To know Lance is to love him, and I have the honor of knowing him and loving him deeply." Lance: "Grace and I met on Hinge, but that initial conversation gave me the feeling that I had always known her. We went on our first date, which lasted somewhere around 6 hours. It was much less of a “nice to meet you” and way more of a “I finally found you”. We became absolute best friends from the moment we had the first conversation, and the comfort I felt was nothing short of the Lord’s hand guiding us. Grace and I proceeded to go on date after date and adventure after adventure, quickly discovering that this was who I would spend the rest of my life with. We dove head first into relationship development, working daily to live less for the world and more for the Lord. We have aimed to live our life on mission for the Kingdom of God and die more and more to our flesh daily, and that has drawn us closer than anything else ever could. As we get closer and closer to our wedding day, I’ve been reflecting heavily on the personal growth that we have experienced. This growth, together, is undoubtedly complementary to having Grace as a part of my life, and I can’t wait to spend the rest of my life growing, serving, and ministering right by her side."
