Our story begins at Immanuel Church, which is fitting because that is where our journey into marriage will also begin. We grew up together, as our families were great friends and partners in ministry. Our friendship has always been the core of our relationship and we can't wait to face each new day together as one. Throughout the course of Jonathan's years at college, our relationship grew to be more romantic and we decided to start dating during his freshman year. After dating long-distance for a large majority of our relationship, being in the same hometown this summer has been so enjoyable. Our personal relationships with Jesus Christ have enabled us to stay strong through the difficult and uncertain times we have faced. Now, we are incredibly excited to join in celebration with you all as we become one with each other and with Christ!
