Grace and I met at The Orchard in Arlington Heights, the church we both attend. Grace was (and is) on staff and I was an attendee committing to become a member. Our paths kept crossing as one of Grace's roles was processing my church membership and youth group leader applications. Interest continued to grow as different church events brought us together and I formally introduced myself. After a foiled plan to get Grace to give me a tour of the church (thanks Trevor!), we ended up bumping into each other anyway and having a two hour conversation! Not long after, Grace was lovingly urged to invite me to a s'mores party hosted at her house and I accepted. There we sat next to each other around the fire and after our conversation I was sold. Within a week of the party, I called Grace, told her I would enjoy to continue to get to know her, and asked her to start dating! That was the evening of September 7th, 2017 and the next morning we went on our first date. Consequent dates followed and we found ourselves laughing, enjoying, and aligning on so much despite how different our upbringing and personalities were.

Due to the circumstances surrounding the coronavirus, we will be celebrating our wedding in a unique but exciting way! Our wedding will begin with a smaller, family-only ceremony September 5, 2020 and will be completed with a fuller celebration including both family and friends in September of 2021. This year gap enables us to celebrate with A L L of you, which is our desire. Please keep us in your prayers and give thanks to God for what He has done.
