There are few thank you's in order for how we got to this moment today. We are thankful that God had His hand over us throughout our journey, we're thankful for the support of friends and family and of course, we're thankful for the age of online dating! How we both ended up on a dating app is certainly a story for another day…for now, let’s focus on the result of it! After a few weeks of texts and facetime calls, we were almost certain that neither of us were being cat-fished. We met for our first date on August 9th, 2022. Three hours later and before either of us even made it back home, we were already planning for date number two. Each date to follow was just like the one prior, filled with laughter, fun and very intentional conversations. Some may say the first few dates may or may not have felt like an interview, while others may say there was an overkill on "church hugs". Fun fact: both statements are very true! On October 9th, 2022, our intentionality led us to continue growing and learning together. We were two individuals rooted in our love for God and knew what we wanted. While we went an untraditional route, God was always at the center. One year later, on October 9th, 2023, He remains at the center of every step taken towards having a happy, healthy and God-fearing future together. Taking this next step on June 19th, 2024, is one of the easiest decisions we could have made and we are grateful to have you all as a witness to the next chapter in our journey! With love, Kelly and Laurel
