Jake and I have always felt that God has truly made our relationship happen. And Mary too! If you’ve asked us why we started dating in the first place, we’ve probably shared how little sense it makes, even to us. Our relationship has been one huge gift, dropped into our hands. It was a no brainer to choose a date that honors the Most Blessed Virgin Mary’s heart of humility and gentleness, who was the most perfect receiver of God’s will. ever. We will spend our vocation trying to be as docile to the Holy Spirit as this woman was.
