Their paths crossed multiple times until they finally realized God was bringing them together. The couple first met at a church College And Young Adult night (CAYA) when Mykenna chose to sit next to the cute boy she noticed from across the room. After talking most of the night they found out that they went to the same small garage gym in Tempe, AZ. They crossed paths again while attending Arizona State University. Matthew, a mathematics PhD student was teaching in the same building that Mykenna happened to have a physics class in. They were of course both late one morning and bumped into each other. As if all of this wasn't enough, God's final attempt to bring them together succeeded when the couple went out for a coffee after Sunday service. Mykenna and Matthew realized it was meant to be.
