Our Wedding

Our love story is not one of love at first sight but rather a love that grew out of two strangers becoming best friends. The craziest part of our story is that we really should not have met the night we did. I was working an event for my high school and at the last minute, Brady covered a friend for this event. We talked once at this event, but I didn't give it a second thought until Hope, one of my maid of honors, told me Brady was staring at me all night. I decided to take a chance and sent him a message on Snapchat. The next day he messaged me and said he wanted to join a club I was heavily involved in where we met and talked about Jesus. During this time, we became very good friends, and it developed into us becoming high school sweethearts. I always say that how we met is crazy, but in reality, God's hand was over it the whole time. We truly believe God led us to one another and has been leading us every day since. The day after our wedding we will celebrate 7 years together.
