Caleb and Hannah were in the same college ministry, Cru at Ohio State, but had not met until Caleb began attending their church, Ethos Ohio, at the beginning of Hannah's junior year of college. Hannah's version: When Caleb first starting coming to Ethos, I didn't think much of him, other than he was cute and from Colorado (honestly, I could never quite remember his name). We crossed paths here and there, and I even tried to make plans to meet up with him and Lucas Brill while my family was on a vacation in Colorado, but Caleb cancelled last minute, and I figured he just wasn't interested. In late January, after a Cru event at Buffalo Wild Wings, I drove Caleb home. We ended up sitting in the car talking long after we arrived, and that's when something shifted for me. My roommate, Sydney Wyatt, kept a running mental list of guys that I would be interested in going out with, and when I got back that night, I told her to "add Caleb to the list." Another few months passed until a group birthday party where we discovered our birthdays are just one day apart (mine, March 12, and his, March 13). On March 12, 2024, Caleb sent me a "Happy Birthday" text, and we haven't stopped texting since. Not long after, Caleb asked me on our first date, and I was surprised by how easily we laughed together and how deeply and humbly he loved the Lord. From the beginning of our relationship, we made a decision to wait to say "I love you." We wanted those words to mean "agape," a word used in the Bible to describe God's complete, sacrificial, never-ending love for us. So, we waited. On December 12, 2025, Caleb got down on one knee, told me he loved me, and asked me to marry him. It was the easiest yes of my life. Caleb's version: Being honest, I knew who Hannah was long before she knew who I was. I was friends with some of her friends, and always thought she was cute, but we really never had a chance to talk or interact on a meaningful level. That same story about her family coming to Colorado and trying to plan a time to meet up meant way more to me, because she had asked for my number before the trip not thinking anything of it, but I was secretly very pumped about finally getting her number. Some time passed, and there was still no real chance to interact and get to know her, but right before spring break, her friends hosted a big March combined birthday party (a lot of her friend group had birthdays in March), and I got an invite since my birthday was also in March. At this party, we finally got a chance to talk and I felt like we had enough of a rapport that I could send her a text on her birthday. That happened, and then over time, I had more and more fun talking to her that it was time to ask her out. I did that, and I got to see her heart and remember liking how much she cared for people, and sought after the Lord's light in her life. Then the story continued like Hannah mentioned above, until I was in Chicago and a friend asked me if "Do you think you and Hannah, if you had to get married today, would have a fruitful marriage?" I took a second and thought to myself that "Yes, I was beyond confident that if Hannah and I got married, our marriage would be serving of the Lord and our community around us", and here we are today!
