Luke and Katie began talking online in April of 2023, had their first date April 30, 2023 and became engaged November 9, 2024.

God has been orchestrating their story long before they met and has heard their prayers and parents' prayers about finding each other before they knew the other existed.

"I knew Luke was different from our first conversations on the phone, and it solidified on our first date. I couldn't believe how great of a guy he was. Every time I was around him, something new impressed me. The more time I spend with him now, I learn that he not only impresses me but also helps me be a better person. He is the Godly man I have prayed for my whole life. He has the kindest heart and sweetest soul that is strong, faithful, and enduring. Patience is his virtue, and steadfast love makes him dependable like a rock. I have never loved someone like I love Luke, and I only love him more every day. I can't wait to proclaim our vows before God and our loved ones; this is, without a doubt, the result of the goodness of God." -Katie

"When I first laid eyes on Katie, I knew she was something special. I was instantly taken

by her charm and beauty. She was so sincere and real, and I couldn't get enough of her. I wanted to learn everything, never letting a single detail pass my attention. We became inseparable immediately, and I fell in love with her kindness and compassion. The way I see God in her every day inspires me and encourages me every day to walk the narrow path. She is my light and hope, never letting me face the darkness and troubles of life alone. I admire her bravery and strength when faced with difficulty, but she never loses her kind heart and forgiving nature. Thinking about our near future being united in marriage fills me with joy. When I look at her, I can see our beautiful life together and all that the Lord has blessed us with, how he has guided our paths together, and how he will continue to be there to support us. I cannot wait to stand in front of all our loved ones, share my love, and establish our covenant with God. I cannot wait to see her walk down that aisle, the most beautiful sight I will ever see, and have the chance to solidify my unending love for my future wife. "-Luke
