We're Getting married!!

Paul and Elisabeth were actually set up through a close friend of theirs, Naomi. After meeting and getting to know each other, she told Elisabeth that she thought she found someone for her. Elisabeth was intrigued but skeptical at the same time because Paul's passions sounded exactly like hers. Weeks later, Elisabeth and her cousin booked a flight to Portland to visit Naomi. Naomi set up plans for hiking in the Portland area with a group of friends she usually goes with, Paul being included. At this time, Paul had no idea that Naomi was trying to set them up. They met the first day and barely talked. On the drive back from the mountains, Elisabeth accidentally played a soundtrack song from one of Paul's favorite TV shows. This sparked a conversation about their favorite soundtracks and movies for the rest of the ride. Throughout the rest of the weekend, there were many moments in which Paul and Elisabeth both noticed their similar passions in photography, love of nature, and movies as well as their similar humor and so on. When the weekend came to an end and Elisabeth and her cousin left for the airport, Paul went into his car and felt as though God was telling him he just missed out on something amazing. When Elisabeth got to the airport, she told her cousin that she had never enjoyed talking to anyone as much as she did with Paul. A few days later, they began to talk continuously. A week after they met, Paul bought a ticket to Los Angeles to visit her. On January 11th 2018, Paul gave Elisabeth a heartfelt letter explaining his deep feelings for her and how she was the answer to his prayers. That was the beginning of many months of adventure-filled travels back and forth from PDX to LAX About a year and a half later, on May 13th 2019, Paul proposed to Elisabeth in front of a waterfall in the most simple and perfect way

From the start of their relationship, Paul and Elisabeth have been in awe of how God orchestrated their love story. They are forever grateful to God for His sovereignty in bringing them together after many years of praying for their future spouses. They have been blessed with such amazing friends and family that God had placed in their lives through their relationship and they cannot wait to celebrate with them on their wedding day. Paul and Elisabeth are very excited to embark on this beautiful journey of marriage crafted by God. They believe that through their marriage, the mystery of the gospel will be unveiled more and more to them. Marriage will be a major vehicle for the gospel's remaking of their hearts from the inside out and their life from the ground up. To God be all the Glory!
