Spring

Our Wedding

His first, carefully crafted text read "It's ya boi, Jacob de Villiers". Poetry. And while not captured in photo, he asked her out in November, after a Cru Campus Connect. She said yes, after asking him to repeat himself, and he took her on a wonderful date on November 12, 2022. They went to Pulley Diner and saw Percy Jackson the Musical.

As the spring semester continued, they enjoyed hanging out together in Shade, going on hikes around Campus, and walking each other to class.

That semester, they tried to enjoy a lot of time together, because in May they would become long distance as Jacob went to Europe with Glee Club, and Emma later went to Colorado to work with Group Mission Trips.

While Emma was in Colorado, the de Villiers family came to visit during their summer vacation.

And although the summer apart meant that they both grew in different ways, it deepened their relationship as they learned how to better love each other through the coming year

During their second year as a couple, they had some wonderful and tough times together. Obviously, they were both busy with school, but life also came with some challenges. They continued to rely on the Lord together, trusting that He would sustain them.He did so and more, and in the midst of everything that happened that year, they were able to enjoy many blessings.

That Thanksgiving, they had more than enough to be grateful for.
