We met at The Rock Church's young adults small group in January 2020. We both caught each other's eye, but we knew it wasn't the Lord's timing yet for us to pursue a relationship. Ten months later, and we quickly became best friends. We soon began to realize we couldn't get enough of each other! We would spend hours upon hours talking, laughing, and bonding over the amazing ways God was moving in our lives. In January 2021, we finally confessed that our feelings for each other were more than just platonic. After many thoughtful conversations and fervent prayers, we decided to pursue a relationship with each other on January 23, 2021. It wasn't long until the saying, "when you know, you know" went from a sappy cliche to the only way we could explain how confident we were about spending forever together. The Lord abundantly confirmed and blessed our relationship as we continued to pursue each other with Jesus at the center. On August 21, 2021, Ben proposed to the happiest (and most surprised) girl in the world! Our relationship has been a beautiful journey of learning to love the way Jesus loves us—sincerely, selflessly, and unconditionally. Our hearts are open and ready for God to finally unite us as one—and we're so blessed to have you join us in celebrating our love and marriage. Praise God!
