Our Wedding

Alex Ferris and Olivia Mallory first met in August 2024 at college. Olivia was unsure how to get to Sheetz, and by chance, Alex and his friends gave her and her friends a ride. From the moment Alex saw Olivia, he felt a spark and was drawn to her, but at first, the feeling wasn't mutual. Olivia saw Alex as a friend, but over time, their friendship grew stronger, and they became inseparable, spending nearly every day together. As their bond deepened, Alex wondered if Olivia might eventually feel the same way about him.   Around four months later, Olivia began to question her feelings and realize she liked Alex. After a lot of prayer and reflection, her heart began to soften, and she realized she had developed the same feelings for him. Both Alex and Olivia, along with their families, prayed earnestly about the possibility of dating, seeking God's guidance. It became increasingly clear that God had been guiding their relationship from the beginning, bringing them together in ways they couldn’t ignore.   Months later, the topic of marriage came up. They continued to pray deeply, and through their prayers, it became evident that this summer was the right time for them to take that next step. They trusted in God's timing, knowing that His plan was unfolding perfectly.
