Some would call it luck, coincidence, destiny or fate but we call it a blessing. Nothing happens without God making it happen or allowing it to happen and we couldn't be happier with how God has led our paths together.

A small-town "podunk" boy was given a chance by a beautiful Christian woman. He stepped out of his comfort zone, daring to try new things, and ended up falling in love. What more could a God-honoring man want than a God-fearing woman whose first love is Jesus?

We first met, wait for it, on a dating app. You may have cringed reading that, and while the swipe culture has its pros and cons, it was a platform that connected two people living across the bridge.

It wasn't love at first sight, but as time went on we wanted to see each other more and, eventually the love between us grew and I knew that I wanted to spend the rest of my life with Julie. Hence, here you are on our wedding website.

To summarize, because everyone reading this probably knows I talk a lot, I'll just point out that Julie's presence in my life has influenced and encouraged me to grow even closer to God and to become the spiritual leader that God would have me be. I couldn't imagine a better life partner and I wouldn't even begin to try. She's the love of my life and I can't wait to see how our lives and marriage glorify and honor God as we go through life together!
