Our Wedding

We met at Desert View Bible Church—surrounded by friends and family who may or may not have been trying to set us up. (Shout out Cheryl, Sandy, and Josh ;)) We crossed paths through mutual connections, but it wasn’t exactly love at first sight. Kevin was quietly interested, and Grace was…well, patiently waiting. Enter Kevin’s surprise secret weapon: Josie, his 10 yr old niece. With all the confidence and honesty only a child can have, she raised her hand in kids class one Sunday and said to Grace, “My uncle Kevin wants to ask you out.” (Talk about cutting to the chase!) It was sweet, unexpected, and just bold enough to work. That little moment broke the ice—and opened the door to our first conversation that would lead to many more. From there, our relationship grew through shared values, countless conversations, and a whole lot of laughter. Whether it was over a competitive game of mini golf, weekend adventures, or simply doing life together, we both knew we had found something rare and deeply meaningful. Then came the proposal. On a warm, memorable day, we boarded a scenic train ride. As the landscape rolled by outside the window and the rhythm of the train quietly underscored the moment, Kevin asked Grace to be his forever. She said yes (with a few stunned laughs), and the train kept moving—just like our story will—onward into our next adventure, side by side. Now here we are, getting ready to say I do—surrounded by the same community that brought us together in the first place. We can’t wait to celebrate with you and officially start the next chapter of this sweet, silly, beautiful ride.

Once upon a Sunday…
