Our Story
Our story began with a prayer. We were both at a point in life where we were looking for something real—someone to share not just love, but also faith. Our first date was in March 2024, the same day daylight saving time started. Nothing went perfectly—we were a little late, the plan was more spontaneous than expected—but it all felt right. Natural. Comfortable. Real. From that day, we knew something special was unfolding. A year later, on Valentine’s Day, came the proposal. With nerves, excitement, and so much joy, we said yes to a life together—built on love, faith, and trust in what God has planned for us.
