Our story goes all the way back to middle school. Back in middle school we knew of each other but had not officially met. It wasn’t until high school that we officially met and became friends. All through high school we managed to always get the timing wrong. It wasn’t until 2021 when Gabriel was in South Carolina that we finally got the timing right. Which is kind of ironic because the moment we finally get the timing right Gabe is a thousand miles away. Lydia always says our story is full of “God winks” which is her interpretation of seeing his hand in our story. As if he’s giving us a wink saying “hey that one was me”. Lydia would say if our timing had worked out on our terms instead of his we might not be where we are today. All those years of bad timing was not only time for our friendship to grow but we were growing as individuals so when the timing for us was perfect we would actually be prepared and ready for each other. So now here we are in 2023 getting married and starting the story that has already been written for us. We have been left with an encouraging reminder that Gods timing will always be perfect and all we have to do is trust him.
