Sometimes the best love stories begin when you least expect them. We had known each other for years—crossing paths through mutual friends and spending time in the same circles—but it wasn’t until I invited Nathan to church with me that everything began to change. I knew he had been searching for a church home, and what started as a simple invitation soon became the beginning of something so special. As we spent more time together, both in faith and in friendship, our connection grew deeper than we ever imagined. Before long, we realized that what we had was more than just a friendship—it was the kind of love that felt effortless, genuine, and meant to be. On July 16, 2023, we made it official, and from that day forward, we knew our lives were forever changed. After a year filled with love, laughter, and countless memories, Nathan asked me to spend forever with him on September 6, 2024. Without hesitation, I said yes. Now, we can’t wait to begin this next chapter together and celebrate our love with all of you who have been part of our journey.
