We're Getting Married

Joseph here. I met the love of my life about three years ago at church. The funny thing is... I did not talk to her at all that first year. She'd gone through so much at the time, and I it was clear that it wasn't the right time at all. We both volunteered and stayed very active in our church and had similar friend circles, but couldn't quite connect for the first year and a half. One day, we talked. And we really hit it off. I thought she was being nice. She thought I had no interest. We had good conversations that turned into beautiful edifying Godly conversations. We were a match. We still didn't get the hint. We repeated this cycle of talking and fellowshipping but not making a move for the next year. At the time, we were both in bad relationships. Around the third year mark, those relationships ended. And we were both ready to move on. However, we still didn't notice each other in that way. It wasn't until a few good friends of ours helped us see what we couldn't see. It clicked. Now, we're getting married and ready to do the Lord's work together. We are building something new and leaving our old lives of brokeness and tragedy behind forever. Thank you, Lord. It truly feels like it came out of nowhere, but thank God it did.
