Our Wedding

Love is Patient. Love is Kind. This was a lesson sure to be learned in this love story. On their journey to finding their soulmates, Jonathan and Franchesca both decided to join CatholicMatch. During their time on the website, Covid hit hard, and Franchesca ended up logging off for a whole year until things started to settle down. During this time she couldn’t help but wonder if she was missing out on opportunities to meet someone, but something inside reassured her that what’s meant for her will always be for her. In April of 2021, Franchesca decided she was ready to log back on. Once she did, she quickly became overwhelmed by all the notifications she received over the past 12 months. Turning to prayer for guidance on where to start, she felt moved to look at her messages. After reading through and checking out 12 messages and profiles, there was only one that brought on a strong feeling that she couldn’t ignore. When looking at the date and noticing it was sent in November of 2020, she hesitated to respond to a 5 month old message. She finally decided she had nothing to lose by trying. Little did she know that she would eventually be gaining everything she’s always prayed for. To her surprise and excitement, Jonathan responded right away. They messaged each other back and forth for a couple of weeks before he initiated a video chat. At one point, they both looked at the clock and realized they had been chatting with each other for 4.5 hours! To Franchesca, their chemistry was so undeniable that when they got off the video chat, she saved his number in her phone as “Future Husband 😍”. The hours long video chats continued over the next few weeks, leading Jonathan to invite Franchesca to join him for a walk in June of 2021 to meet in person for the first time. Franchesca thought this was going to be the moment that would take their relationship to the next step. At the end of their walk, Jonathan mentioned that he just wanted to be friends. Before that, he mentioned some long term goals that he had, and Franchesca wasn’t sure if he wasn’t ready for a relationship at that time or if he just wasn’t interested in her. Trusting her gut instincts, she decided to stick it out and see if their friendship would turn into something more one day. Over the course of their friendship, and during a special phone call on one of his camping trips on Labor Day weekend, Jonathan finally came to the realization that there was something more there. On Friday, September 13th, 2024, Jonathan invited Franchesca to join him for a walk at a park. After several laps around the park, he worked up the courage to share with her that he was finally realizing that their connection was too obvious and too undeniable to ignore, and that he wanted to give a relationship a chance and see where things went. After patiently waiting for 3.5 years for Jonathan to come around, things were finally starting to head in the direction Franchesca always knew they would. One year later, on Labor Day weekend, Jonathan planned a day trip for the two of them on Lake Huron. While Franchesca was soaking in the beauty and caught up in taking a picture of the lake, Jonathan took advantage of the opportunity and decided to surprise her. Franchesca turned around and found Jonathan on one knee asking her to marry him! Beyond excited and with happy tears in her eyes, Franchesca said YES! Both of their prayers had been answered in finding each other and now getting to spend the rest of their lives together.
