October 3, 2021 It all started on a fall night in downtown Sacramento at Concert in the Park. Selena noticed Matthew from across the crowd and couldn’t help but think he was cute — so she introduced herself. The music was playing, but neither of them knew that night would be the start of something so much more. October 4, 2021 The very next day, God aligned their paths again — this time at church. What felt like a coincidence was really the start of His plan. Their first date was at Granite Bay College Night, where they realized they’d both been attending the same church without ever meeting. From that night on, something just felt… different. November 21, 2021 Matthew asked Selena to be his girlfriend, making their love story official. What started as a simple introduction quickly turned into something neither of them could imagine — a love built on faith, laughter, and God’s perfect timing. June 1, 2024 After 2.5 years of growing together, Matthew asked the question that would change their lives forever. With the sun setting at Lavender Farms, in front of a quiet pond and glowing sparklers, he got down on one knee and asked Selena to spend forever with him — and she said YES. August 29, 2025 The day they finally become one — surrounded by the people they love most, ready to step into the life God has been preparing for them all along. “So they are no longer two, but one. Therefore what God has joined together, let no man separate.” Matthew 19:6 This isn’t just their love story — it’s the story God wrote long before they ever knew it was theirs
