Hey, this is Amber!

Justin and I technically met our very first weekend of our very first semester at Lancaster Bible College! We were both in the business department, and were put into a small group together for orientation. However, there was a lot going on and we didn't get to know each other much.

We ended up in totally different friend groups, and for the first few months of college would see each other occasionally in the student center and around campus. I had "noticed" him ;) but that was pretty much it.

Eventually, Amber decided to join my friend group (because we were pretty awesome 😎), and that’s when we really started getting close. During this time, we would find ourselves hanging out one-on-one—somehow getting haircuts and going on our first unofficial date. Amber kept inviting me to random things she had to go to; I was falling in love. Per usual, one night after dinner in the ODC (our cafeteria), she invited me to go to a basketball game at her high school. After the game, driving home, I decided to tell the truth—that I liked her. Not only that I liked her, that I loved her!

Back to Amber :)

We FaceTimed all throughout Christmas break, and started dating on January 26, 2023. And it's been a crazy incredible ride ever since then! Justin is truly the most amazing man that I know, and I am so excited to call him my husband!

(are you all cheesed out yet?)

Our relationship, like most, started off like a fairy tale...swing dancing in parking lots every night with our friends and going to watch the sunset. However, my favorite moments with Justin have been the ones where look at each other and say: this is really hard, but we're in it together. The ones where doing real life and drawing nearer to the Lord together.

He truly is the one that has orchestrated each and every line of this story and brought us to this place, and we could not be more thankful!

Back to you, Justin.

Justin again...

Dating Amber has truly been a dream. She supports me in all the areas where I struggle and encourages me to grow in the ways that matter most; spiritually, emotionally, and even physically. She brings out the best in me, and I’m so thankful that God brought us together.

I honestly don’t know where I’d be without her. She’s my best friend and the person I turn to on both the good days and the hard ones.

I’m so excited to marry her, to start this next chapter together, to face life’s ups and downs side by side, and to keep God at the center of our relationship as we grow, learn, and celebrate all that’s ahead.
