Our Wedding

Danny and Anna grew up having dinner with each other's families every year at the NAFWB conventions or the Pinsons' trips to Miami. Neither, however, would have ever thought anything about the possibility of a future together. The two crossed paths at Welch College as students together for one year but didn't connect until the wedding of Danny's brother Samuel and Anna's best friend Elizabeth in the summer of 2023. Since Danny and Anna were the best man and the maid of honor, they had several opportunities to talk. Danny would later reveal that the wedding was when he first saw a serious future with Anna. When the school year at Welch began that fall, Danny found opportunities at events to talk to Anna. At one party, they found themselves talking for nearly the entire time. By the end, Danny asked Anna to stop by the college coffee shop where he worked. When Anna visited him during his shift, they talked for two hours, and he invited her back again, then again, then again. During this time, Danny and Anna realized they got along awful well, and they went out together more and more often. They made it official on October 7, 2023, after enjoying a jazz concert together. They spent two years together enjoying conversations, theater, music, day trips, and long walks before Danny proposed on April 24, 2025.

Danny and Anna's Love Story

Our Story

There's no closer bond that two men can share than that of being brothers. Danny and Samuel have been at each other's side through—quite literally—every stage of life. From playing piano-violin duets to traveling the world, they have always been each other's best friend in every situation.

Anna and Elizabeth became close in college when they travelled together on the ministry team Rejoice. Anna was the maid of honor in Elizabeth and Samuel's wedding, where she and Danny (who was the best man) first started connecting.

Jaron and Danny grew up knowing each other from a distance at the annual Florida State Meetings. Danny still remembers Jaron blowing "Ancient of Days" on his trumpet during competitions! During their time at Welch College, the two became good friends, sharing the stage in various school productions, as well as bonding in many Dr. Holley classes.

Caroline and Anna met when they were 5 years old when Caroline's family was home on furlough from missionary work in Japan. Every several years, they'd see each other when Caroline was in the states. Their freshman year at Welch, they were roommates, and they immediately made a deep connection and have been best friends ever since.

Danny and Austin first bonded over their mutual love of nerdy board games. Later, though, when they were both a part of the Rejoice! Ministry team they grew to be much better friends who bond over the absurd realities of day-to-day life and, of course, their nerdy interests.

Raygan and Anna grew up seeing each other compete in CTS competition but officially got to know each other on YET, a summer worship music tour for Free Will Baptist high school students. During college, their friendship continued to grow, mostly on and around the Welch College stage.

Truman was one of the first people Danny became friends with while at Welch. Over the course of their friendship, Danny discovered that Truman also had an appreciation for the finer things in life, like fancy cheeses and foreign cuisine.  Throughout the past few years, Truman has been a loyal friend to Danny through thick and thin.

Sarah and Anna met the first week of their freshman year of college and became fast friends. From Pride and Prejudice to historic homes to Arby's french dips, Anna and Sarah have connected over many things and formed a strong friendship. 

Sarah Lytle

Matthew is first and foremost Anna's little brother, but Danny has become good friends with him over the last few years. They've spent lots of time in the Pinson kitchen chatting about what's going on in the world and sharing the dish-washing duties.

Abigail's parents came to work at Welch when Abigail was 5 and Anna was 10. From this came many playdates in the old girl's dorm, games in the front yard of Sylvan Park Church, and many, many times just sitting and waiting for our parents to stop talking. As they have grown up together, Anna and Abigail's friendship has grown along with them.

Faith and Anna met at Hendersonville Christian Academy and became close friends at once. Through the heartbreaks and joys of high school and college, Faith has been and will always be a steady, lifelong friend.
