Our story began in the summer of 2017 at Southeast Christian Church. Merryll was interning as a Worship Leader while Skyler was working as a Youth Pastor. Although they had seen each other from afar and had heard plenty about how they needed to meet, it took a mutual friend to plan a gathering to make that happen. It was a short few weeks later that they went on their first date - a Saturday evening church service followed by a stroll across the Big Four Bridge, pizza at The Parlour, and ice cream. After a fun evening of enjoying each other's company, they became great friends very quickly. Needless to say, that summer was full of fun dates! It was the start of a beautiful bond and the foundation for their relationship. Here they are six years later and are so excited to write this next chapter. Over the course of six years, we have both experienced the highs and lows of life and all that goes with a long distance relationship and we have continued to choose one another. We view love and marriage as a beautiful gift from God. Our desire is that our love and marriage will bring glory and honor to God, the Giver of all good things. We feel very blessed to have had our families and friends by our side throughout our lives. Our story wouldn't be the same without you. We love and appreciate each of you! Thank you all for your love and support! We can't wait to celebrate with you March 23rd, 2024! Oh, magnify the Lord with me, and let us exalt his name together. - Psalm 34:3
