our happily ever after

About two years ago, we met at church. Just a simple hello. We were apart of the same friend group and were together often for game nights, dinners, and just hanging out as friends. A series of events led to one night (we still laugh about) where there was a LARGE unwelcome SC bug at my place, and Jared came to my rescue... my hero! I was unsuspecting of his growing interest in me, which is why when he asked me out on our first date, I had no idea it was a date! I quickly learned my mistake and realized how much we were enjoying spending more and more time together. For me, it was not love at first sight (though I was quite taken aback with his tall, dark, and handsome striking good looks), but our friendship grew deeper. The more I got to know Jared, (since we spent basically every moment together for 9 months) falling in love with him came naturally. Jared gently cared for my heart, led me towards Christ, and unconditionally loved me like nothing I had ever experienced, and still does. He constantly is showing me that love is selfless, unconditional, silly, exciting, and just plain FUN! I know we are not perfect, but we are perfect for eachother. (Even our faults compliment each other!) Blending our lives together has been so effortless. There really is no joy like doing life together with your best friend! When Jared asked me to marry him, he told me that the moment he met me he knew I was the one. And my heart was more than ready to say YES to what God had for us. ♥️ I never could’ve imagined our story being so imperfectly beautiful. We say it all the time, but God knows EXACTLY what we need in HIS perfect timing. We are so excited to start our lives together as one. If you are reading this, you have been invited to be apart of one of the most joyous days in our lives, our marriage day! We cherish the relationship we have with you and are excited to share not only our wedding day, but our lives with you going forward! Thank you for being apart! ♥️
