Our Wedding

A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away (a nod to David’s favorite film series)…two young teachers met backstage at their church and commiserated over the sets of papers they had to grade. However, their love story would not begin until several years later. Fast forward… Thanks to some encouragement from a mutual friend, who was doing some matchmaking work behind the scenes, David asked Amy out via Facebook Messenger on January 19, 2023. The two had their first date on January 22, 2023. They spent 4 and a half hours at Buffalo Wild Wings reconnecting and bonding over playoff football. Both David and Amy quickly realized there was something special between them, and they spent the next eleven months falling in love and laughing…a lot. In December 2023, David surprised Amy with tickets to the Chicago Bears game on New Year’s Eve. Although David is not a Bears fan, he was a trooper to spend a cold and snowy day at Soldier Field. During halftime, David made a sneaky trip up a few rows to find someone to capture what was about to happen. When he returned, he told Amy to look down the row for some of her “coworkers.” While Amy had her back turned, David got down on one knee. When Amy turned around, David asked the best question and Amy answered with the easiest “Yes!” David and Amy’s love story is an answer to many, many prayers. God is so faithful and good, and His timing and plan are always better than anything we could imagine. David and Amy are so grateful to God for bringing them together, and they can't wait to celebrate His goodness and their love for one another with all of you.
