In the midst of the Covid-19 pandemic, Safran added me on social media and we began conversing ever since. Our numerous texts would turn into hour-long calls and eventually I would wake up and immediately call him and wouldn't hang up until it was time for me to hand in my phone at night. We constantly craved each other's presence we both began sneaking out to see each other. He would walk 30 minutes to my house almost every day, whether it was raining or snowing, to come see me. When the travel began to take up most of our time together, he got a bike and began biking to me. I would bring blankets, he would bring snacks, and we would lay down on the hallway floor to watch movies and cuddle together. When I became pregnant we decided to run away together. I fully trusted him and his ability to give us what we needed, but most importantly I trusted God because I knew this was a part of His plan. Though we were teen parents with no knowledge of parenting and a small understanding of the depth of love, our genuine passion for each other fueled the necessary growth it took for us to thrive. I'm so proud of the parents we are becoming but most of all, I'm proud of the man I will love for the rest of my life. Thank you for joining us in officiating our marriage!
