Summer of 2022, Emma and I had attended the same church for sometime and began to develop our friendship while playing on a slow-pitch softball team. One evening after a game, we found ourselves deep in conversation and before we knew it, the night had flown by! When a similar conversation happened the following week, it was clear that something special could be happening, and we went on our first date.

Over the course of 2+ years of dating, we've continued to deepen our friendship as we took walks, served together, and watched plenty of KU basketball. Despite having different personalities, we've found a deep seated mutuality due to our love for Jesus and the Church which has brought us closer together, compelling us to love Him and each other. We can't wait to see what our future holds and are so thankful you can celebrate with us!
