Caroline & Kade

May 30 2026
Truth or Consequences NM

Our Story

On a chilly December night in Lubbock, Texas — December 14th, 2024 — Caroline and Kade met on the back patio of The Blue Light Live. Grady Spencer and The Work were playing inside, the music drifting out under the glow of string lights.

They talked for just five minutes — short, effortless, unforgettable — before Caroline slipped away. Kade was left scanning the patio, wondering, “Where did she go?!” A few days later, through mutual friends, they discovered their worlds had already been quietly connected.

It wasn’t coincidence — it was Jesus’ plan all along. That brief conversation turned into texts, long talks, a first date, and eventually, a love story full of laughter, grace, and adventure.

Now, they’re saying “I do,” thankful for that night on the patio where it all began — and for the way God brought them together, perfectly, in His own time.
