Oh darling

There's not much that you can say

To stop me from falling in

Like I am

Oh darling

Even waves can't wash away

Our names in the sand

Never could, never can

MEG - I remember walking past you on my way into church, and I thought you were cute. Our first connection came through my brother, Matt. One night, after volunteering at Youth, Josh and Matt were talking, and I approached to see what Matt was up to. They were exchanging contact info, so I grabbed that info too!

JOSH - Our friendship was vibing so well. She was always an encouragement to me and I could tell that she was a solid person—and her green eyes! She was sarcastic, which I thought was great. When it hit—it hit, and we began dating on August 6, 2021.

MEG - My eyes were on him a little longer—I knew that this relationship had (marriage) potential. I knew and was patient, even though at times it broke my heart. I waited.

You are my everything

I give up everything

Show me the darkest parts of your heart, I ain't gonna run

Every dance is slow, every kiss is whoa

They say you'll know when you know, well I know

I know you're the one

JOSH - I knew at Thanksgiving after we started dating, I was going through a valley in my life, and struggling. We were sharing our hearts and I wanted her to know that she could walk away as my life looked so complicated in that moment. I knew when she stayed that I wanted to marry her. She pulled the best out of me and I knew that I could grow for her, take care of her, and build a life with her.

Some people bring you a million blessings

Some people teach you a million lessons

All that I learned, it wasn't my turn

It wasn't the right time

Some people come in your life for a reason

Others they come in your life for a season

But baby, you are a lifetime

MEG - My life has been built on the verse "Be still, and know that I am God!" (Ps 46:10) My faith has grown through reading the Gospel of John, chapters 15-17. But John 17 has become a revelation of how Jesus prayed for his disciples, and us—"all who will ever believe in me…"

JOSH - Growing up I rocked the verse "This is my command—be strong and courageous! Do not be afraid or discouraged. For the Lord your God is with you wherever you go." My faith has grown through the book of Habakkuk. I felt the Holy Spirit was so close to me. Meg sent me this verse during that valley I was in, "The Sovereign Lord is my strength! He makes me surefooted as a deer, able to tread upon the heights." (Hab 3:19) And God confirmed His word in me!

Oh darling

There's no word that can describe

The way that I feel, tonight

Oh darling

I would walk that broken road

Time and time again

If it led me to your hello

JOSH - Meg is so good at everything, she picks up on needs, listens, is adaptable and together we want to serve and love those around us. Our unwavering faith is in Jesus, we know that He is our provider and as we continue to mesh together we'll keep trusting in Him and each other. I'm so excited to build a life with Meg.

MEG - When you meet Josh, you meet Josh. He is authentic and I love that about him. He is intentional and makes you feel like you matter, that you're important. I know he loves me. I love having him in my life—and I look forward to not having to take two cars to church!

After the vows, we'll walk out the path that Christ has set before us hand in hand. We look forward to doing the mundane things together, coffee and food—so much ramen!! This beautiful life of ours will be filled with, drives together, adventures, laughs, not saying good-bye, but goodnight. We welcome the wonder of God's grace upon our lives, we'll build and grow, lift and love all the days that our Heavenly Father blesses us with.

Thanks for celebrating with us!
