Our Wedding

Timothy and Caitlyn met in January of 2016. Some call it fate, but they believed God worked in a mysterious way when&nbsp;they both happened to "swipe right" on each other. Caitlyn says when she met Tim for the first time, she thought his cologne smelled really good&nbsp;and loved that he made her laugh the whole night. She was even more impressed when he told her their next date was at The Getty, because it reflected that he listened and cared when she spoke about her dreams.&nbsp;

 

Though the timing of their story is unique, they both agree that God's timing was far better than their own. They spent a season getting to know each other as friends which neither of them regret. Caitlyn would joke with her friends that she had a gut feeling she was going to marry Tim after she came home from being overseas. Though she never admitted it to her friends, she thought Tim was an incredible, God fearing man who deserved the absolute best.&nbsp;

 

August 1st, 12:00 AM, In-n -Out

Timothy and Caitlyn met up for some burgers and ended up having 'the talk'. After many tears, fears, and feelings, Caitlyn and Tim&nbsp;prayed and agreed to officially start dating. There was a lot of fear because Caitlyn was going overseas for 11 months, but Timothy said "I've waited 4 years for my future wife, what's 11 more months".&nbsp;

 

Thankfully the 11 months apart were rich and full of growth. They would send emails back and forth, FaceTime when the&nbsp;wifi was strong enough, and pray for each other daily. The Lord blessed them with that&nbsp;season to grow in new ways and learning again that the Lord's timing was better than their own. During that time, Tim began attending the church Caitlyn had been going to for years. He didn't tell her because he never wanted it to be about her, but all about God and his calling. Caitlyn was in awe when she heard the news that the man of her dreams was involved and established in the church she called home. She had prayed for a man she could one day&nbsp;lead worship, be discipled, and do community with. It only made sense to Tim to propose there one day&nbsp;in front of their friends and family...(:&nbsp;

3. What is your favorite memory with Caitlyn?



Eating chips behind that storage container at training camp. We were so gross and starving and nothing was greater in that moment than Doritos and a new true friend ❤️but I also have so many memories from the race! Like when we cried together in Guatemala and all the dates and talking about home and ugh I just love you. Also sitting in those rocking chairs at training camp talking, I will never forget that night.

1. What is your favorite kind of cheese?Goat, Gouda, Colby Jack&hellip; Well, actually ALL cheese!2. How have you seen Caitlyn and Tim grow over the last few years?Swipe right &mdash;&gt; Date #1 &mdash;&gt; Date #2 &mdash;&gt; I love you. I don’t think I’m ready to date you. &mdash;&gt; Denial &mdash;&gt; We like each other but aren’t dating, but are dating, but I can’t date. &mdash;&gt; We love each other but I’m leaving for a year. &mdash;&gt; Oh wait, I can date. &mdash;&gt; Date long distance overseas. &mdash;&gt; Come back and get engaged. &mdash;&gt; Get married!

But in all seriousness, I’ve seen two people grow in strength and love as they seek the Lord first.



I admire how you both seek and lean on the Lord in your relationship. I can’t imagine what dating long distance is like, but I do know that you both persevered a lot and grew a lot during that time. And look at where you are now! &nbsp;
