Our Wedding

Cole and Brooklynn met July 1, 2024 at a church spike ball event. Over the next year, they saw each other at church events and knew each other from a distance in group settings. In the New Year, Brooklynn started hearing her friend mention Cole to her quite a bit, wondering what she thought of him. Little did she know that Cole was chatting with her friend's boyfriend (and now husband) to see if he could ask Brooklynn out..Brooklynn knew Cole was serious when he rearranged his entire work schedule while in busy season just to go to a games night. Cole also knew that Brooklynn was serious when she started to pick up running as a hobby. The pair started dating at the end of February and have been inseparable since. The couple would like to thank their newlywed friends for setting them up and their church community for starting a series on relationships just as they started dating..Cole and Brooklynn are so excited to start their next chapter together knowing that the Lord will sustain and keep them. It is their great desire to represent Christ and His church through the covenant of marriage. Pray for them as they enter into marriage and seek serve and glorify God as one.
