Wedding Day

Our Wedding

We first saw each other during a first-year ENC meeting at MBU. We didn’t speak then—Victoria had to leave early, so there was no interaction. It wasn’t until a mission trip to Myrtle Beach, SC, that we officially met. That was the first time we actually talked, and from that point on, we became friends. We would text regularly and had a great friendship. We remained good friends for a while (3-4 months), especially leading up to graduation. Before parting ways, Darian promised to check in monthly. Honestly, people say that all the time, but to our surprise, he actually called a month later—and we talked for eight hours straight. It was one of the best conversations we’ve ever had. Unknowingly, we had both been fasting and praying during that season to see if this was something God was leading us to. And it became clear that God was leading Darian to pursue something deeper with Victoria. That’s when everything shifted. We went on a picnic and played We’re Not Really Strangers. The next day, we exchanged notecards where we both admitted our feelings for each other. That same day, Darian asked Victoria on a date. A week later, Victoria drove to Staunton and met Darian at his house. He took her to a drive-in movie theater, and on the way there, they saw a double rainbow—it felt like a divine confirmation. The date was unforgettable. Darian asked Victoria to be his girlfriend. From that moment on, we’ve been inseparable. Now, two years later, we’re getting married.
