Our Wedding

Joseph and Luvia’s love story is a testament to faith and perseverance. Meeting in July 2020 amidst the challenges of a global pandemic, they found a connection so profound that distance could not hinder it. Spread across states, their relationship flourished on shared prayers and countless video calls, each moment together deepening their commitment. From early on, they experienced affirmations, confirmations, and visions from God, who spoke to their hearts, confirming that He had ordained and supported their union. Despite the miles, their love grew, and God beautifully and purposefully orchestrated their love story . Now, after over three and a half years of long distance, Joseph and Luvia are stepping into a new chapter, coming together in marriage. A marriage that will be used by God for His glory and kingdom. They move forward with joy, embracing a future that they know was crafted by the very hands of God.
