Our story is one only God could have written and redeemed.

Tyler and Jenni first met a few years ago through Tyler’s late wife, Kelli. Jenni and Kelli were friends through church and Bible study, and when Kelli became ill with breast cancer, our whole church family prayed and grieved together. When Kelli went home to heaven in 2021, Tyler was left to lovingly raise their three precious girls—Peyton, Addy, and Ellie.

Over the years, many friends gently wondered if Tyler and Jenni might be a good match, and even they occasionally wondered the same—but it wasn’t the right time. God was still at work in both of their hearts and stories.

Fast forward to 2025, and through prayer, encouragement from dear friends, and the unmistakable leading of the Lord, God opened both of their hearts to something new and beautiful. What began as friendship has grown into deep love, gratitude, and joy as they’ve seen how God can bring redemption, hope, and laughter even after great loss.

Along the way, they prayed a simple prayer from Colossians 2:2—that God would “knit their hearts together in love.” And in His goodness, He has done just that.

Tyler and Jenni are overjoyed to begin this next chapter together—with Jesus, family, and the girls at the heart of it all.
