Our Wedding

We met during our senior year at Grove City College, when our Greek organizations came together to build a Mario-themed parade float for Homecoming. Even then, God seemed to be quietly at work. Without realizing it, Emily dressed as Princess Peach while John arrived as Mario—a small but meaningful coincidence that felt like a glimpse of a greater plan already unfolding. As we grew closer, moments like this continued to appear, gently affirming that our paths were meant to cross long before we ever met.	John first asked Emily on a date after a very late night that stretched well past 3:00 a.m., spent tossing vegetables into open dorm windows across campus. From the beginning, getting to know one another felt effortless. We discovered how deeply aligned we were in the ways that mattered most, and it became clear that we had each found the person we had been praying for since childhood.	We began officially dating on November 15, 2023, and were engaged on May 24, 2025. It has been a beautiful journey marked by faith, laughter, and growing together, and we are filled with gratitude as we look forward to celebrating our blessed wedding day on June 27, 2026.
