Jonathan and Sandra’s story began on a Christian dating app called Upward, but it quickly became something far deeper. Sandra was drawn in by Jonathan’s effortless humor, while Jonathan found himself captivated by Sandra’s gentle spirit and pure heart. Through countless dates and long, heartfelt conversations, their connection grew naturally and intentionally. At the center of it all was a shared love for Christ and a desire to build something lasting—rooted in faith, purpose, and devotion.

From early on, Sandra and Jonathan shared a desire for marriage, choosing to trust God with both the timing and the process. After two years of dating, God opened the door to a future once out of reach. That joy was celebrated when Jonathan surprised Sandra with a secret Christmas engagement, stepping together into the story God had prepared for them.
