Our story began long before we ever imagined it would lead here. We first met in kindergarten, wandering the playground side by side, and from those early days a friendship was formed that only grew stronger with time. Through choir, church events, birthday parties, and countless shared moments, we remained constant in each other’s lives. By the time we reached high school, we were inseparable—best friends navigating life together. During those years, each of us began pursuing a deeper relationship with the Lord, at different times but with the same heart. That journey eventually led us to the same place: East Carolina University. It was there that the Lord brought our friendship into something more. From the very beginning of our relationship, we knew this was God’s plan and that marriage was in our future. Our greatest desire is to glorify the Lord in all that we do and to remain faithful to one another through every season of life. All glory to Jesus.
