July of 2018, Beth made the move from Northern Virginia to the small-town of Salisbury North Carolina, where she was introduced to Dagan by a mutual friend at a gym session just two weeks in to her stay. Over the next seven months, the two developed a strong friendship of mutual roasting, powerlifting competitions and random grocery shopping trips, completely taking romantic relationship off the table (aka… completely friend zoning each other). It wasn’t until the fateful night of February 22nd when Dagan mustered up the courage to just “go for it” and make his feelings known… by kissing Beth with no prior warning. She was completely unaware of his attraction to her up until that point. Their journey has been unlike so many, yet so full of blessing and promise. With the themes of transparency, honesty, unconditional love and messy journeys with Jesus running through the core of their foundation. One week into seeing each other, the couple invited another married couple into their process for leadership and accountability, having one on one sessions as well as individual counseling, with the aim of pursuing what it would look like to learn how to love better together. Within the first week, Dagan knew. Within the second week, Beth knew. Then on June 18, 2019, standing in Beth’s little apartment kitchen, Dagan whispered that he just wanted to do life with her, pulled out a little black box and said those magical words... “Let’s do it then” ~ And thus, their adventure begins

While we love the idea of house gifts and adorable “his and her” mugs, our most pressing need would be financial gifts towards our wedding, honeymoon and the start of our married lives. If you would like to give something, please consider giving towards any of the specific funds listed, or leave a comment with what you would like us to use your gift for and we will be sure to think about you while we enjoy it. :)
