A & J

Joshua and Alexis met at her church’s young adult group, where a simple friendship quickly blossomed into something more. From the moment he saw her, Joshua was drawn in by her gentle spirit and bright smile. He couldn’t help but make her laugh with his witty jokes—and she couldn’t help but laugh every time. Their bond was instant and undeniable. Overtime, their friendship blossomed into a love—one rooted deeply in faith. Now, with full hearts and unwavering trust in God, they’re stepping into marriage, grateful for the story He’s writing and excited for all that’s still to come.

Joshua proposed on the night of their three-year anniversary—an evening that began with dinner and ended in a way Alexis will never forget. After dinner, he brought her back to the place where their journey began: church. It was a prayer night, or so she thought. As they entered the sanctuary, a song began to play. To her surprise, Josh stood up and performed a song he had written just for her. Every lyric was filled with meaning, memories, and love. At the end of the song, he dropped to one knee and said "Alexis Matias, will you marry me?" As Alexis said yes, she looked around and to her amazement, the room was filled with loved ones who had quietly gathered to witness the moment. It was perfect and deeply personal. A proposal rooted in love, surrounded by community, and blessed by faith.
