We met in 2023 at our church, M28, during the Monday Night Community Group. What started as a simple friendship quickly grew into something deeper—filled with laughter, shared passions, and a whole lot of swing dancing (thanks to Taylor’s invites to swing dancing at Georgia Tech!).

As we spent more time together—whether exploring the Dogwood Festival, road-tripping to Nashville, or traveling all the way to Oregon—our bond kept growing. We didn’t realize it at the time, but God was gently and faithfully writing the beginning of our love story.

Before long, nearly everyone around us could see what we hadn’t quite admitted yet: there was something more between us. Through prayer, patience, and an entire Fall bucket list of homemade treats and crafts, we began to see it too.

In September of 2024, we finally took the leap and started dating. And when we did, it felt like God (and everyone else) was saying, “Finally.”

Our story is a sweet slow-burn, friends-to-lovers tale—but more than anything, it's a testimony to God's timing, grace, and faithfulness.

As we prepare to say “I do,” we are reminded that love is one of God’s greatest gifts. Our prayer is that this marriage reflects His grace, faithfulness, and joy. We’re so excited to celebrate the next chapter of this beautiful story The Lord is writing with all of you this October!
