Numbers 6:24-26

We matched on Hinge in December 2022 and went on a first date just two days after Christmas. Because of Ryan's crazy work schedule, he convinced Karina to go on a second date the very next day. On the fourth date, Ryan accidentally "forgot" his wallet in Karina's car which only left one option - to see each other again! We joined each other at church the next day. Even though Karina was twenty minutes late to service, Ryan says that it was after this day he knew he'd found "the one". On February 1st we became *official* and just a couple of weeks later, we said "I love you". Over the next several months, we became close to each other's families and friends. We grew in our faith together, praying with one another and doing weekly devotionals. On September 2nd, Ryan surprised Karina with a traffic stop proposal and her dream engagement ring. While Karina was under the impression they were headed to a retirement party, it was really a surprise engagement party! While we didn't imagine we'd meet each other on a dating app, God works everything out for our good in ways we don't we expect! We are so excited to be getting married soon and can't wait to celebrate with you!
