How It Started

Will and Rachel met through South Church a few years back but really knew each other more from a distance. Things started to change when Will starting studying in the ministry's college student house on a regular basis in the fall of his senior year. Rachel had a habit of visiting the house for meeting up with others from the ministry but definitely made more of a habit to visit after Will and Rachel's friendship started to grow. Will talks about how time would fly by whenever they hung out. Right before the spring retreat, Will asked Rachel out for a date and she asked if she could answer a week later. They had their first date at Crego Park after she said yes and it went hours later than expected because of enjoying it. She still feels bad and catches heat for making him wait a week to hear her answer.

Proposal Story

Will knew he wanted to propose at their first date spot. After walking together in Crego Park and going down memory lane, he stopped at the bridge. Will then got on his knee, and asked to spend their lives together. This time, Rachel said yes immediately! Will had a friend hiding in the bushes to take pictures and family ready to celebrate at home :)
