Our Wedding

Our story started from very the day we met. No, this is not one of those cheesy “love at first sight” stories. Rather, think of it as the Lord nudging on each of us and our feelings for one another pretty quick. We “just so happened” to always sit by one another during events and hangouts— come to find out we both had the heart eyes for each other (as we shared with one another on our first date lolll). We became official on July 7th, 2022. Our relationship has just entirely felt like a gift from the Lord. After our internships at McDowell Mountain Community Church ended at the beginning of August, we began doing long distance. As in, 9 1/2-hours-only-seeing one-another-once-a-month long distance. Luckily, the months went by quickly and Elijah proposed to Abbey on February 17th, 2023. Now, we will be getting married on August 14th, 2023 and beginning our life together in Terre Haute, Indiana. Elijah was offered a job at his home church Maryland Community Church (which is in Indiana, not Maryland, lol!) as the Student Worship Leader and Videographer. Abbey will continue growing her freelance photography career and serving at MCC. We cannot wait to continue to do ministry together!
