Our Wedding

Not Yet Oliver & Haleys story is one of God’s goodness and our imperfect patience. Oliver & Haley met in the Fall of 2021 through a Bible study at Walnut Creek. After a few months of interacting and getting to know each other, it was obvious to themselves they liked each other. They prayed that if it was God’s will He would have them in a relationship, but after praying for a bit, God answered with a gentle not yet. A few years passed and neither Oliver or Haley felt any differently about each other, but as they prayed, God continued to answer not yet. In His grace God allowed Oliver & Haley to grow, mature, and learn some hard lessons before He made it clear it was not just His will, but also His timing for them to pursue a relationship in October of 2024. As the months passed, Oliver & Haley learned just how long the two had waited for each other and how wonderful the other person was, but also realized how hard it was to wait for God’s timing as they desired marriage. After several months of not yet and in His perfect timing, He led Oliver to propose and Haley to say yes on June 1st, 2025. After four years of friendship, seven months of dating, and eight months of engagement, we look forward to our wedding date; the day not yet will become now.
