Mariel and Finn’s story begins in the most meaningful of places: a Bible study. From the very first time Mariel laid eyes on Finn, she knew there was something extraordinary about him. It wasn’t just his confidence or his warm smile, but his unwavering fear of God that caught her attention. For five long months, Mariel brought her feelings to God in prayer. She held on to her faith, even as she wrestled with the uncertainty of it all. Thursday, May 30th, out of the blue, Finn approached Mariel and asked for her number. Their first date turned out to be more than either of them expected. What was supposed to be a simple coffee chat turned into an ten-hour-long adventure filled with laughter, deep conversations, and a growing sense of connection. They both left that day knowing something special had begun. Six months later, Finn planned a proposal. During the golden hour on Michigan’s Mt. Pisgah, he asked Mariel to spend forever with him. She said yes, and they celebrated with tacos at their favorite spot. Through every step of their journey, Mariel and Finn have kept God at the center. They are deeply grateful for the way He has guided their relationship, teaching them to trust His plans and to place their faith in Him above all else. Their story is a testament to the beauty of surrender, the power of prayer, and the faithfulness of God’s timing.
