Our story started in April 2024 with a swipe on Upward. We talked for a few weeks, then had our first date at Eric's Ice Cream Factory on Mother's Day where we chatted for hours. Not long after, we had a picnic date at Independence Dam where we frequently returned. Our relationship blossomed into many more park dates, long walks, adventures, conversations, and memories--and lots of ice cream, of course!! On April 4, 2025, Tim casually asked Mal if she wanted to check out the high water at Independence Dam. There, he asked her to hold his hand to escort him to the port-a-potty and then proposed! Little did Tim know, Mal had already gone wedding dress shopping the night before ; ) We would be honored to have you with us as we celebrate not just our love, but the One who first loved us. As we begin our marriage, our deepest desire is to reflect Jesus's love to each other and to everyone we meet. We are so humbled that we get to begin this journey surrounded by people who inspire us to love well!
