Beautiful, smart, caring, and funny are a few things that come to mind when I think about Brittany. I saw it all just moments into our first date and I knew she was going to be a big part of my life. The beach has always been my safe place, I took Brittany out on a beach day and we spent the whole day sharing stories, our favorite songs and talking about simple things that made us love life, as we talked I couldn’t help but think there is something different about her. I was nervous and comfortable at the same time, later that night we went on the pier where they had a band playing and I asked her to dance, I knew that night I wanted to keep dancing through life with her We motivated each-other and grew together, we set goals together and supported each other. We are a great team. She has always supported me and has been my biggest fan. A year into our relationship we purchased our first home together. Living together was a new chapter, and it was a challenge for us both. We had to learn how to communicate, we got closer to lord and asked for his guidance as we pushed through new boundaries and put in work. I started to see more clearly what I had already knew from the start which was, I wanted to spend my life with her. For months I was trying to plan the perfect proposal. To know Brittany is to know she has a huge personality and I wanted to plan the perfect proposal to compliment that. The first week of October rolled around and Brittany came home from work one day and said " pack your bags we are going to Disney World this weekend." She was surprising me with the trip for my birthday.. I surprised her with the rest of our lives.

The summer Bradley and I met I was discovering myself. I was about to start my senior year of college and like most twenty- something year olds I was lost. Brads grace, patience, and love, kick started my journey of figuring out exactly who I am. I fell in love with him - f a s t. I knew right away that he was it for me, there were no reservations, no second thoughts, I saw him and in an instant I knew in my bones, my soul had known his soul for lifetimes. I thank God everyday for all the chapters my life saw before I entered this chapter with Bradley, because they prepared me for a love like this. He is everything I could ever want in a partner. He is so funny, his smile is my favorite thing about him and he lights up every room he walks in. He has never met a stranger and he is the true definition of "will give you the shirt off his back". I have caught him so many times bragging about me and my successes in life to a room full of people. He is proud of me and I cherish that. Bradley puts others before himself every time and he loves the people the way Jesus loves, freely. He will lead our home in faith and he will continue to show me the power of grace. Brad surprises me everyday with small acts of kindness, he helps our community everyday with the power of loving one an other. Gods love shines through him and I know the marriage Bradley and I enter will be an example of Genesis 2:22
