As many of you know, we met in high school and have been together since we were 16 and 17 years old. Growing up side by side and embracing all that the past 12 years have held, we are confident that we are only beginning to scratch the surface of the life and future we will share together. From high school sports games and prom, to dating throughout college, to trips with and without family, to stepping into our careers—and everything in between—we have walked through every season together. Through life’s highs and lows, we have experienced the many changes, challenges, and joys that come with growing into adulthood. Over the past year, we have both accepted Jesus as our Lord and Savior, been baptized, and committed to placing God at the center of our individual lives and our relationship. This journey has revealed to us a deeper understanding of marriage and helped us embrace the beauty and significance of covenant. Through God’s grace, forgiveness, and unfailing love, we are filled with excitement as we step into this new season and embrace all that the Lord has in store for us and our future family. Over the years, we have been blessed to cultivate a friendship that is both joyful and deep, a love that endures, an authentic partnership, and a shared passion for building a future that glorifies and honors Him. We are incredibly grateful for the love and support we have received along the way, and we cannot wait to celebrate our marriage with each of you this October!
