Our Wedding

It all began with online dating, a modern tool for an age-old quest: finding love. Skeptical, but hopeful, Baxter and I each signed up, navigating profiles and messages that felt more like puzzles than pathways. Neither of us imagined that in July 2021, something profound could come from a swipe or a click- but God had other plans. One evening, I stumbled upon Baxter's profile. Something about his smile, stature, "old soul," and way with words-radiated humor and warmth, made me pause. I decided to send a message- a witty line that sparked laughter on my end. That simple exchange led to a conversation that flowed effortlessly, filled with quirks and jokes that had both of us laughing. As days turned into weeks, our bond grew deeper. From late-night texts to long phone calls, laughter became the thread that wove our hearts together. But it wasn't just the humor that connected us; it was the way we both spoke about life, faith, and love. We discovered that our paths had been gently guided, as if by divine design, toward this moment. Our first in-person meeting was filled with nervous excitement, to say the least. It was as if the universe itself was holding its breath, watching two souls come together. From the first smile to the last hug of the evening, it felt like we had known each other forever.Love didn't rush in like a tidal wave; it grew steadily, nurtured by every shared story, every laugh, and every prayer. Now, as we prepare for a lifetime together, we look back on that unexpected beginning with gratitude. Online dating brought us together, but it was God who gave our love its depth and purpose. And in the quiet moments of our life together, thus far, when laughter fills the room, we're reminded that the best stories often start in the most surprising ways, and in God's perfect timing.
