Their story began in a very modern way—on social media. He likes to say it all started because she commented on his Jesus-related posts, while she insists she wasn’t paying it any mind at all. Either way, what started as a simple online connection quickly became something neither of them expected. As he was transitioning out of the military, he made plans to move—ironically—to a city just an hour away from her. Not long after, he came to her family home clearly knowing what he wanted. He arrived with flowers for her mom and spent time sitting with her dad, who asked him a simple but powerful question: “What are your intentions?” His answer left no doubt. “I don’t mean to scare you, but I plan to marry your daughter one day—to provide for her and protect her.” That same day, he asked her to be his girlfriend. One year later, he asked her to be his wife. What began with a comment, a conversation, and a leap of faith became a love rooted in intention, commitment, and purpose—and the beginning of their forever.
