If someone had told us years ago that we'd end up here, we probably wouldn't have believed them. For eight years, we crossed paths countless times through the same congregation. We were friends, shared conversations, and went about our lives without ever considering that there might be something more between us. Then one conversation changed everything. As we got to know each other on a deeper level, we realized that what we had been searching for was already there. The friendship we'd built became the foundation for a love story neither of us saw coming. After a thousand near misses, we finally got it right.
