Our Wedding

Paul and Jen's story unfolded amidst the backdrop of the Christ Covenant Young Adults ski trip in Breckenridge Colorado in February 2023. Although their paths crossed a few times upon returning, it wasn't until April 2 when some well-timed information from a groomsman helped them embark on their first date. A spirited pickleball challenge, with the enticing twist of the loser buying dinner, set the stage for an evening filled with laughter and friendly competition. The details of who emerged victorious in the game remain a delightful mystery.   Following their exhilarating match, the evening unfolded seamlessly with a delightful dinner, a stroll through the streets of downtown Alpharetta, and an impromptu decision by Paul to extend the night with a visit to the theater for John Wick 4. While perhaps not his initial cinematic preference, the choice proved fitting as the movie's duration allowed the couple to savor each other's company just a little longer.    The very next day, Paul reached out to Jen with an inquiry about a second date. Her response, an enthusiastic yes, marked the beginning of a journey filled with shared moments and the promise of more adventures together. After an awesome year of Braves games with the A-listers, Jen braving being the only girl, and many more dates here we are now sending out wedding invitations.

I’m very thankful we were both the new girls in school sophomore year of high school. From Dunkin coffee runs to skiing down icy mountains, she’s been a best friend and a confidant.

It has only been a year and a half, but she has been such a light in my life. Catherine is the dearest soul and sweetest of friends. Thanks for convincing me to go on the ski trip and making me go down Crystal with you in ‘22.

Seth and I have grown up together, worked together, and still talk almost daily. I have so many memories with him that they are impossible to list out here. I am proud to call him family and my best man.

Seth Johnson

The one who invited me to Christ Cov and one of my first friends. He always invited me to all the House Peace parties which has led to many more friends over the years.

Will is just one of the coolest guys I know. He and I have become great friends over the last year when he asked me to join a prayer group he was starting.

Sam and I met a few years ago. One of our first conversations was about accountability. We ended up talking for a few hours and have been great friends since. 

Sam Marshall

Johnny Richards, There is so much I could list about what makes Johnny an awesome friend. If it wasn't for him telling me some key information on Tuesday night at CCYA I may not have asked Jen on a date...

Johnny Richards

Seth and I met when young adults consisted of only 40ish people. That's hard to believe. He invited me on a birthday weekend trip and ever since then we have been great friends and roommates. I'm proud to have him as a groomsman.
