Our Wedding

Tyler and Juliana's story has grown through many seasons over nearly the course of a decade. It began slowly, followed by young enthusiasm, followed by a steady reliance on the Lord, and always encapsulated by deep love and friendship. Tyler's family began attending the home church of Juliana's family when they were around nine years old. After a couple years of occasionally noticing the other and hardly knowing each others' names, they had their first conversation as Tyler climbed a tree on the church playground. Soon after, Tyler and Juliana were launched into youth ministry with several of their friends. Here, relationships deepened not only with friends and with each other, but with Christ. Tyler and Juliana both shared a deep interest in the things they were learning about God and felt deeply drawn to Him. Youth ministry became a vital part of both of their lives, and a space where they came to know the authentic versions of each other. One summer, when Tyler and Juliana were teenagers, they began to spend more time together in conversation. They quickly became close friends, and trusted each other with many of the growing pains of young life. This trust eventually gave way to a confession of feelings! Whether it was lovestruck young enthusiasm or God-given assurance of what was to come, Tyler and Juliana were swept up in the excitement of requited love, and had their hearts set on forever. As young people with much growing left to do, Tyler and Juliana quickly recognized their need to rely on God. Through changing friendships, school, interests, a desire to begin an official relationship upon graduation, and a commitment to honor God until then, this is where their story held tight to patience and a trust in God's plan for them. God used this time as a season of growth and testimony of His work and of Tyler and Juliana's friendship. While not the only thing that contributed to each of their relationships with Christ, it was this in part that stirred up a commitment to the Lord, and they hold every part of their relationship as a thankful testimony of what God has done. The story shifts as Tyler and Juliana stepped into an official relationship upon their high school graduation in 2022. For the first time, they experienced long distance dating as Juliana left for college that Fall. They visited each other often and kept up with each other every day, though some days were busier than others. Tyler and Juliana then experienced four months apart as Juliana studied abroad for a college semester. With busy schedules and life changes for both individuals while away from each other, their relationship began a new season. Upon Juliana's return home, the two held tight to their long history, while also learning the new versions of each other. The next year brought changes and growth in both individuals as Juliana moved back home permanently, finishing her degree online, and Tyler began stepping into a new role at their church. This year passed quickly, and in Spring of 2025, Tyler proposed to Juliana. Through tears, she gave the yes they had long awaited for. Now, Tyler and Juliana look back on the many years and the many seasons with nothing but thankfulness. Thankfulness for the difficult things, the sweet things, the tears, and lots and lots of laughter. They hope for their wedding to be a celebration of the union the Lord will bless them with in marriage, as well as a celebration of all that the Lord has done in the past years. Thank you for reading! We are so excited to celebrate with you all &lt;3
