"Love will live, love will last, love goes on and on and on."

How it Started -

Last December, I was trying to plan a time and place to meet my friend Rebecca for a study session. We didn’t live in the same part of town, and normally, she came to me when we got together. That day, however, I decided to go somewhere different from our regular coffee shop and meet her at a more convenient spot closer to her. I’m so glad I did.

Rebecca asked if I was okay with a friend of hers joining us for dinner after we studied. You see, the spot that was closer to Rebecca was also closer to her friend Becky. I didn’t know it then, but being close to Becky that night was going to change my life.

I knew Becky, but not very well at the time. So, when we started talking about our families, I was surprised to hear that she had a brother—Rebecca had never mentioned him before. As Becky talked about him, I instantly knew he sounded like my kind of guy. I jokingly asked if he was single. Thank God he was.

A little matchmaking on Becky’s part (and some excited squealing from Rebecca), and an hour or so later, I got a text that said, “Hey Hannah :) It’s Reid, Becky’s brother. How are you tonight?”

I could fill pages detailing how our love grew from that one text. From our first date (ask me about it sometime—it’s a pretty funny story) to the first time I came to Statesboro to meet his parents, to my eventual move to Statesboro, to us standing in the middle of his land as he asked me to spend the rest of my life with him, and all the precious moments in between—there has never been a question that every step was so sweetly guided by a loving God.

It has been the greatest joy of my life to move from “Hannah, Becky’s Friend” (as I’m still saved in Reid’s phone, by the way) to Hannah, Reid’s fiancée.

We are overjoyed to walk through this season together as we prepare to say “I do” in front of our friends and family! Let’s get married!
