Hallie receives her first contact on UpWard (Christian dating app) of a stanger that hasn't been released from her loving and caring arms, nor wishes to be.

Most of the couples' interaction involved texting over Snapchat and had daily texts from William, which she looked at but didn't read, so the app wouldn't tell him if she had seen them.

This didn't stop his eagerness to chase this beauty down, and instead made sure to text her as much as possible without being over bearing or clingy, this in turn seemed to due the trick because before long she was sending him texts and starting the conversations.

Their first time seeing each other was at their parents' house, to which her father said "O He's a big fella." And even though he wasn't wrong, she still let William into meet the parents before they went out to bowl and then to walk along salmon creek.

Fast forward about 3 months and a whole lot of golfing and spending time talking about the amount of simulairities they had William asked her father to start dating her to which he said, "Sure I don't see any reason why you shouldn't ask her." Once these two started dating, it was very clear as it is to today how much they absolutely love without anything holding them back.

Their first true date was at Wild Fin, an amazing place to eat, and William recommends the Shepards pie (He calls it German Shepard pie accidentally).

Leading up to their engagement, both of them experienced very little issue and enjoyed the amount of honesty, communication, and abilities to talk through anything without feelings getting in their way.

They both love

•Golfing

•Fishing

•Walking on the beach and visiting old antique shops, then chowing down on some delicious clam chowder.

•Watching movies together

•Playing card and board games

•Being in echo others company and doing anything else together is what they enjoy.

Upon the date of there engagement William again asked for her hand from her father to which he said, "Well I say yes, but your going to have to ask her and see what she thinks, good luck with that".

Then, shortly after, he glanced down and asked, " You have a ring, right?"

Of course, William did as he had been planning to propose to Hallie for quite some time.

The time came for the proposal to take place, and the location was where their first long walk took place, at Salmon Creek.

Hallie didn't know why they where walking there with out her trusty dog Cooper but went along with it thinking it was William just want to look at the gnome street in the woods which he had been wanting to see ever since the went there.

Upon exiting the street of gnomes, William proposed to her, and she said, "Yes."

The rest is history, as they say, and today, you get to see these two finally becoming one in flesh and in name.

God has always been there in their relationship and has been the cornerstone of every decision.

Both the Bride and Groom would like to thank you all for your amazing support and words of encouragement
