Long story short, Syd and I are together today because our parents set us up. And the story doesn’t just start in 2016, it goes all the way back to the 80’s when my dad and Syd’s mom were elementary school best friends. After moving to different towns, Mrs. Sheila and Mr. Jason somehow managed to remain good friends, attending each others’ weddings and catching up when passing through the same neck of the woods. 30 years later, my dad is retiring from the Air Force and invites the Maufer family to the Retirement Ceremony. During the reception, Syd and I locked eyes for the first time and sparks started flying. Little did I know, the Maufer family was coming to our house for dinner that night. We spent the night laughing, playing games, getting in trouble for taking the car to the park, and eating Hawaiian pizza. While the Maufer's were in the process of leaving to go home to Atlanta, Sydney's mom suggested we exchange numbers to keep in touch. We both thought that was a great idea. The rest is history. We became best friends during the 6 years of long distance, and at the right time, the Lord brought us to the same city. Now we are here, getting MARRIED!!! This is just the beginning of our story, and we are so excited for where the Lord is leading us next.
