We’re getting married!

1 Corinthians 13:4-8 “Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth. Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.” Trista and Samuel are high school sweethearts who have grown much in love over the years together. They participated in sports and many of the same activities during high school, which led to a great friendship, and later more in 2018. As the time spent together increased, they saw personal values, goals, and dreams align as they saw what the Lord had in store for them. Samuel proposed to Trista during a sunset walk by Winona Lake during a summer evening in July 2022. They have grown in love and understanding through trial, error, milestones, accomplishments, and hardships during the last 5 years. Trista and Samuel cherish one another dearly and cannot wait to take the next step in marriage.

Jermiah 29:11 For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope.
