The Landons

It all started at church one Sunday morning. We both showed up for the same service and without realizing it, we got baptized on the same day. We found out we were standing side by side in our baptism celebration. It was a significant moment for us, but we didn't even notice each other at the time. A few weeks later, we both signed up for church camp, eager for a chance to connect with others. As luck would have it, we ended up sitting next to each other several times during camp activities. We had some great conversations and shared a lot of laughs, but it still didn't click that we were meant to meet each other. Fast forward a few months, and we finally started talking. We went on a date where we had dinner and saw a movie. On that date, he asked me two questions: if he should get a haircut and if I would be his girlfriend. The first question went unanswered but the second one ended with a yes, and that was the start of our relationship. We finished high school and ended up going to the same college, living on campus together. Over the next two years and four semesters, we grew even closer, navigating college life side by side. Then we returned home, with two more years of school ahead of us, and life was pretty perfect. Then, 976 days after our first date, he proposed. It was a moment that summed up our unique journey. Our story, filled with chanced encounters and heartfelt decisions, became a cherished memory of how fate and love can beautifully intertwine.
