Our story beings at Mosaic Church. Deanna was already attending Mosaic when Lane joined the staff as the Media Coordinator. She can remember the day he walked onto the stage and was introduced to the congregation. They had never spoken to each other but a lot of the staff was telling each of them about the other!

One day, Lane came into the Kid's wing to photograph the elementary crew decorating for their next theme. It was there that Deanna and Lane had their first conversation.

Months went by when finally, they became friends on social media and started to get to know each other a little bit more. They even joined the same connect group at church and that is where they really start to talk more. (They were the only two Baptists in the group)!

Lane asked Deanna out THREE times before she said yes! The first time, she said sure but it never happened. The second time, she said, "Sure! I could use more friends to get coffee with!". Then, Lane had offered to grab her a box of cereal for their connect group's cereal party and for the last time, asked her to get coffee with him before their group. She decided that she would go!

A week later, their group decides to go on a hiking trip to Fall Creek Falls and Deanna just barely convinces Lane to come along! During the hike, Deanna was standing on a high ledge overlooking the waterfall when, suddenly, a dog knocked into her and she started to fall. Lane reached out and grabbed her arm and two other friends reached for her as well. But in that moment, Deanna could only feel Lane's hand on her, and no one else.

After the hiking trip, they started to go on more dates until they become official! Fall Creek Falls became their favorite hiking place and they would visit it again on August 27th, 2021 where Lane would get down on one knee and ask her to spend the rest of their lives together!
