Back in 2018, my family was getting ready to move to Romania, and during that time we visited a lot of churches. One of those churches was in Mississippi, where Skylar’s dad was the pastor. Our families were in the same place for a moment, but as far as I (Melody) can remember, Skylar and I didn’t actually talk. Fast forward to 2023—I got a message from Skylar on Instagram. He was trying to get in touch with my brother because they were planning to be college roommates. A couple of months later, Skylar and his dad went on a mission trip to Romania. We hit it off quickly and started getting to know each other better. We stayed in touch over the summer, and when I moved back to college in August, it just picked up right where we left off. We officially started dating in September. In December, he gave me a promise ring, and in April 2024—we got engaged! We’re so thankful for how God brought us together and can’t wait to start forever with each other!
