Our Wedding

Like&nbsp;any&nbsp;modern&nbsp;fairytale,&nbsp;our&nbsp;love&nbsp;story&nbsp;began&nbsp;with&nbsp;a&nbsp;swipe&nbsp;—&nbsp;thank&nbsp;you,&nbsp;Bumble,&nbsp;for&nbsp;starting&nbsp;a&nbsp;story&nbsp;better&nbsp;than&nbsp;either&nbsp;of&nbsp;us&nbsp;could&nbsp;have&nbsp;imagined.&nbsp;From&nbsp;that&nbsp;very&nbsp;first&nbsp;message,&nbsp;we&nbsp;knew&nbsp;something&nbsp;special&nbsp;was&nbsp;unfolding. After&nbsp;some&nbsp;great&nbsp;conversations&nbsp;and&nbsp;a&nbsp;spark&nbsp;that&nbsp;was&nbsp;impossible&nbsp;to&nbsp;ignore,&nbsp;Alex&nbsp;asked&nbsp;Lauren&nbsp;to&nbsp;be&nbsp;his&nbsp;girlfriend&nbsp;on&nbsp;Christmas&nbsp;Day&nbsp;2024.&nbsp;(Because&nbsp;nothing&nbsp;says&nbsp;holiday&nbsp;magic&nbsp;quite&nbsp;like&nbsp;committing&nbsp;to&nbsp;someone&nbsp;you&nbsp;met&nbsp;on&nbsp;an&nbsp;app&nbsp;—&nbsp;and&nbsp;honestly,&nbsp;it&nbsp;was&nbsp;the&nbsp;best&nbsp;gift&nbsp;either&nbsp;of&nbsp;us&nbsp;received&nbsp;that&nbsp;year.) Fast&nbsp;forward&nbsp;to&nbsp;May&nbsp;9,&nbsp;2025:&nbsp;Alex&nbsp;had&nbsp;a&nbsp;romantic&nbsp;proposal&nbsp;planned…&nbsp;right&nbsp;after&nbsp;a&nbsp;not-so-successful&nbsp;escape&nbsp;room&nbsp;attempt.&nbsp;We&nbsp;didn’t&nbsp;exactly&nbsp;crack&nbsp;the&nbsp;code,&nbsp;but&nbsp;Alex&nbsp;still&nbsp;got&nbsp;down&nbsp;on&nbsp;one&nbsp;knee&nbsp;—&nbsp;and&nbsp;Lauren&nbsp;said&nbsp;“yes!”&nbsp;without&nbsp;needing&nbsp;any&nbsp;clues. Now,&nbsp;we’re&nbsp;solving&nbsp;life’s&nbsp;puzzles&nbsp;together&nbsp;—&nbsp;whether&nbsp;it’s&nbsp;through&nbsp;ruthless&nbsp;board&nbsp;game&nbsp;battles,&nbsp;shared&nbsp;laughs,&nbsp;or&nbsp;everyday&nbsp;adventures.&nbsp;No&nbsp;timer,&nbsp;no&nbsp;pressure,&nbsp;and&nbsp;no&nbsp;locked&nbsp;doors.&nbsp;Just&nbsp;a&nbsp;commitment&nbsp;to&nbsp;love,&nbsp;to&nbsp;grow,&nbsp;and&nbsp;to&nbsp;honor&nbsp;God&nbsp;in&nbsp;every&nbsp;step&nbsp;we&nbsp;take.&nbsp;As&nbsp;we&nbsp;look&nbsp;toward&nbsp;marriage,&nbsp;we&nbsp;hold&nbsp;tightly&nbsp;to&nbsp;this&nbsp;truth:&nbsp;“And&nbsp;now&nbsp;these&nbsp;three&nbsp;remain:&nbsp;faith,&nbsp;hope,&nbsp;and&nbsp;love.&nbsp;But&nbsp;the&nbsp;greatest&nbsp;of&nbsp;these&nbsp;is&nbsp;love.”&nbsp;Ahead&nbsp;of&nbsp;us&nbsp;lies&nbsp;a&nbsp;lifetime&nbsp;of&nbsp;joy,&nbsp;grace,&nbsp;and&nbsp;playful&nbsp;debates&nbsp;over&nbsp;who’s&nbsp;really&nbsp;the&nbsp;worst&nbsp;at&nbsp;solving&nbsp;clues.
