Some love stories begin in parks, schools, or workplaces, but ours began in an unexpected, yet divinely orchestrated way-Instagram. Where others might see a chance encounter, we see the hand of Jehovah leading us to each other. For me, it was love at first sight. The moment I laid eyes on her profile, I said to my heart: "She’s the one. No matter what, she will be my wife." Driven by that certainty, I sent her a friend request. But what followed tested my patience like never before—it took almost a year for her to accept it! She insists she never saw it, and of course, I believe her now. But back then, I felt like I was silently waiting for my whole world to begin. Even before we could speak, I would see her posts, admire her thoughts, and cherish her presence from afar. Coincidentally, our families had been close friends since childhood, so it wasn’t impossible for our paths to cross in real life. And when they did, I began to see just how much we shared—not just in interests but in the way we viewed the world and our faith. We started spending time together before we even began dating. From the very beginning, we prayed together and read the Bible together every single day, even before saying the words, “I love you.” It was in those moments of prayer and study that I realized she was positioning me in a chair where I needed to be—a place of spiritual growth and purpose. Our conversations became endless, hours spent on the phone filled with laughter, dreams, and deep connection. Everything started to make sense. One night, with nerves trembling but a heart full of certainty, I finally told her how I felt. I confessed my love for her, unsure of what her response would be. True to her thoughtful nature, she took nearly a day to reply, but the next day, she told me she loved me too. From that moment, we shared our vows to journey together, not just as a couple but as partners in faith, purpose, and life. What drew me to her wasn’t just her beauty—although she is stunning—but her selflessness. She is a woman who empowers me in ways no one else ever has. Her unwavering love for Jehovah, her deep commitment to her family, her kindness to my family, and her care for people all around us made me realize she is the stability and inspiration I’ve always longed for. With her, it’s not just about us—it’s about building a future for generations to come. Her love is the kind of love that transforms, empowers, and heals. Sometimes, I sit and think: - What would life be like if we’d never met? - Who would we be without each other in life? -Where would we be? - Would life still feel this meaningful, this purposeful? The truth is, I can’t imagine any of it. Without each other, our lives might have been good, but they wouldn’t have been complete. It wouldn’t have been Jehovah’s perfect plan for us. Happiness, without purpose is fleeting. What we’ve found together is so much more than that—it’s joy, fulfillment, and a shared calling. Today, we know beyond a shadow of a doubt that we were meant to be together. It’s not by chance but by divine design. Together, we are stronger, better, and more equipped to fulfill the purpose Jehovah has for our lives. We’re grateful every single day for the journey that brought us here and the love we share. To our family and friends, thank you for being part of our story. Your support, prayers, and love is far more than we will ever comprehend, we can't help but say "Thank you! We are so excited to share more of our journey with you-when you visit us, especially the story of our first date and the countless special moments that brought us to this beautiful day. We look forward to showing you those precious photos in person, as we weren't able to share them here. We can’t wait to tell you more about our courtship, the joys and challenges of planning this wedding, and everything in between. To everyone reading this, thank you for celebrating our love with us.
To add a bit of enjoyment to our celebration, our MC will lead a brief, lighthearted discussion for everyone to enjoy—nothing too serious, so don’t take it personally! Here’s how it works: Take a moment to think back to where you first met your partner. For some, this might be a familiar memory, especially for those who grew up together or shared the same neighborhood. Now, if you’re comfortable, turn to the person next to you—especially if you’re married or in a committed relationship—and share where you met and how long it took to get to the decision to marry or commit to each other. We’d love to hear your stories!
