Our Wedding

Anika and Radley’s journey began at Piper High School, where they shared a bus route and even a class together. At first, they were just two familiar faces with mutual friends, exchanging little more than the occasional glance or smile. But God had already written a greater story for them. It wasn’t until a year later that everything changed. One afternoon, Radley walked Anika home from their bus stop—a simple act that became the start of something beautiful. With teenage courage and a hopeful heart, he asked her to be his girlfriend. At just 15 and 16 years old, their love story officially began. In those early days, their “dates” were sweet and simple—taking Anika’s dog on long walks through the neighborhood or meeting up at their local McDonald’s. Those small, ordinary moments became extraordinary memories, laying the foundation for a bond built on laughter, friendship, and love. After high school, life led them in different directions. Radley graduated first and moved away to college, and a year later Anika followed her own path to a different school. Much of their relationship was long distance, but through faith, patience, and dedication, they grew together instead of apart. Now, more than a decade later, they look back with gratitude on the blessing of growing up side by side, even when miles apart. With God at the center of their love, they are ready to step into the next chapter of their lives—together forever. “Therefore what God has joined together, let no one separate.” — Mark 10:9
