We first met as young college freshmen on the cross country team at Judson University. After a year of only knowing each other casually, we started to get to know each other better after we were both invited to lead a Bible study with our friend, Mitch. After a few months and a lot of encouragement from our friends, I finally asked Hannah out. Our first date was on October 7, 2015 in downtown Elgin, and we've both been hooked ever since! A lot has happened since that night. We went 6 months without seeing each other while Hannah was in Army training. Then, we lived in separate states for another 6 months when I moved to Omaha after graduating. But through it all, we've stayed committed to each other and our love has only grown stronger. Now, we couldn't be more excited to commit to love and serve each other for the rest of our lives! And we're so happy that you're going to be a part of our big day!
