It all started with a simple Hinge download—the dating app designed to be deleted. Lucas invited Julia to meet for coffee at Dutch Bros. In classic Julia fashion, she was running late. But Lucas—the most patient, compassionate man—waited without a single complaint. He never rushed her or made her feel guilty, and to this day, that gentle patience is one of the many reasons Julia loves him. Even though Lucas didn’t buy her coffee, it didn’t matter—they spent the entire evening together, laughing, talking, and discovering a connection that neither wanted to end. To this day, their love has only grown. Lucas and Julia treasure coffee dates, cooking together in the kitchen, and challenging each other in their faith. More than anything, they have become best friends—confiding in each other, trusting each other, and walking through life side by side. From a simple coffee date to a love that keeps growing, it’s clear: some things are worth the wait.
