How we met

First comes coffee, then comes marriage...

Greg and Katie met back in 2012 at a local coffee shop in Asheville, NC. From Greg's perspective, he was working behind the counter and Katie walks in. He knew there was something special at first sight. For Katie, she didn't pick up on it until later although she did notice what a striking handsome man he was (& still is!!). Katie sat down with her latte in hand and opened up her Bible to study. Greg notices and thinks "a beautiful girl plus she is reading the Bible?! I must meet this woman." He approaches the table and we chat for a while. Katie thinks "what a nice guy plus he's interested in church...very intriguing ;)) He got my last name and found me on Facebook to write me a message stating he was being quite bold but he wanted to get to know me. We weren't friends on Facebook so it got lost in translation...it went to an "other" box and Katie never found the message until FIVE months later. Well, at this time Greg was not available and invested in another relationship. *the time was not right* six years pass by...and the Lord had planted a seed long ago for us to rekindle. Greg kept up with Katie over the years...whether she was over seas on Mercy Ships, reading her blog or posting a picture with her newest niece. In January of 2018, Katie noticed he was liking some of her pictures and it sparked something inside her. She was curious about this striking man and reached out to him to see if he was still living in Asheville. Katie was living in Nashville, TN at the time. This started a conversation between the two where Greg got Katie's number. He called two days later which ended up being a 3 hour conversation. We met two weeks later in Knoxville. Greg states when he saw Katie walk across the street to the coffee shop in Knoxville he knew this was the woman God had picked out for him...for Katie, she had the same feeling but later on in the day. She got lost gazing into his eyes at dinner that night. She still gets lost in the abyss. And the rest is history...
