Our Wedding

Although we did not meet until August of 2023, our story has roots far before that. Growing up in Shreveport, we both attended C.E. Byrd High School. That provided the sweet opportunity to meet Younglife leaders, Stephen and Linnae Magyar. After graduating from LSU, we both moved back to Shreveport. This led us to reconnect with Stephen and Linnae, as they started a weekly Bible study geared toward young adults out of college. It was there that we met and started our relationship. We went on our first date on October 14th, 2023, and we never looked back. Having our story start as we learned more about Jesus together is such a blessing. I can say we have spent almost every day together since that day, and we both knew this was something different than we had ever experienced. They say, “When you know, you know,” and we knew! From that time until our engagement, we have been doing life together. We have been traveling on many golf trips, celebrating holidays, and much more by each other’s side. It has been the most fun getting to do life with my best friend and future husband. In Early April, Philip asked my parents for their blessing in marriage. From that point, they started planning our engagement. In early May, Philip, his family, and I were going to 30A for their family vacation. On May 4th, he got on one knee, and asked me to marry him. This is just the start of forever, and we feel so blessed that God led us to each other. We are looking forward to a lifetime of memories and love together, and we can’t wait to see what God has is store for our lives in marriage!
