Our love story began long before we ever crossed paths, though fate had it that we were both raised in Southern California, just 70 miles apart. It took God's will and the right timing for our lives to intersect in a way that would forever change us. Our journey started with a friendship rooted in shared love for Christ, a deep passion for family, and a simple yet profound understanding of life. It was a connection that felt natural, as if it had been written in the stars, but little did we know, this bond would soon grow into something more. Phone numbers were exchanged, and before long, texts and calls became a part of our daily routine. As we got to know each other more, the friendship we had formed began to shift into something deeper, something undeniable. After weeks of talking, we finally decided to take the plunge and go on our first date. It was everything we had hoped for and more—filled with butterflies, fireworks, and even slow dances that felt as though the world had faded away around us. In just a matter of weeks, we both knew, without a doubt, that we had found the one God had intended for us. There was no question, no hesitation—our hearts had already made up their minds, and from that moment forward, there was no looking back.
