Our Story

Kendra and Marc’s story is one rooted in faith, shaped by intention, and carried by a quiet, steady kind of love. From the beginning, their connection has reflected something deeper - grounded in their shared love for God and the way they strive to care for others with open hearts. Kendra fell in love with Marc’s kindness almost immediately. His instinct to give, to show up, and to care, no matter how long he’s known someone, is simply who he is. Marc, in turn, sees in Kendra a reflection of God’s love: compassionate, thoughtful, and deeply empathetic. She feels what others feel and meets them there, always looking for ways to bring comfort, joy, or support. Together, their love is calm, peaceful, and full of joy. It’s found in the quiet moments as much as the fun ones - whether they’re watching their favorite shows, heading out to a game, or spending time doing something active and playful. For them, there’s no need for anything extravagant; the best moments are simply the ones spent side by side. As they step into marriage, their prayer is that their union reflects the heart of Colossians 3:14: “And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity.” More than anything, they’re looking forward to becoming husband and wife, cherishing the intimate moments of the day, and celebrating their joy with the people they love most.
