Chris and Jacqueline met in the summer of 2024 on Hinge—proof that God can work through dating apps too. One of their first dates fell on the Fourth of July, which felt fitting, because from the very beginning there was something worth celebrating. Not long after, Chris invited Jacqueline to a summer worship concert, and it quickly became clear that faith would be at the center of their relationship. Jacqueline likes to say that the more Chris got to know her, the more he liked what he saw—and she fell just as hard for his blue eyes and bright smile. Their relationship wasn’t marked by a single lightning-bolt moment, but by a steady, growing affection over three months of dating. What they built felt natural, deep, and grounded, confirmed through shared values of faith, kindness, and a love for adventure. Their story felt even more meant-to-be when they realized they lived just five minutes from each other, both loved the Lord, and were equally committed to marriage and starting a family. In October 2025, Chris planned the most perfect proposal at Lake Balboa—Jacqueline’s favorite place—making the moment unforgettable. Today, they can’t wait to marry and begin the family they’ve both prayed for. For Chris, being welcomed into Jacqueline’s big, loving family has been a dream come true. And for Jacqueline… not having to share Chris was a prayer answered too (she jokes—mostly).
