Emily and Jay met on Match.com and little did they know at their first meeting that it truly was a match! After some initial exchanges online, they finally got to talking about Harry Potter and started cracking each other up! Now, as they are about to get married, they can look back humorously knowing that they are a mixed household of one Gryffindor and one Slytherin!

While they laughed over many things, it was their shared devotion to God and deeply rooted faith that pulled them toward each other. They each would say it is what keeps them together, both now and forever.

Jay and Emily share many interests. They enjoy reading and talking about education, philosophy, and systematic theology. They also really enjoy films from Hitchcock, Cary Grant, Bill Murray, and anything with a John Williams score. Emily and Jay also share a love for music, especially jazz, retro synthwave, and classic 80s pop. Emily is very competitive, yet so is Jay. They are well-matched in this regard and have a fondness for playing board games. Separately, Jay most encouraging of Emily's passion for dance and Emily loves encouraging Jay's karate discipline.

Jay and Emily end every day the same way they have for months. They read a chapter of Psalms and pray for each other. This is their most precious time together, as every day this adds a chapter to their story.

Q + A coming soon!
