Our Story

A Hero's Journey

Picture of A Hero's Journey

On a cold Autumn day in Johnson City, Tennessee, not far from the local university, there was a young college aged boy and the hero of our story. Our hero, after much prayerful discernment decided to convert to the "Romano-Catholicae Ecclesiae" which

in our tongue is known as the Roman Catholic Church. After much soul searching he came to this conclusion, which would require him to join a RCIA (Rites of Christian Initiation for Adults) course in order for him to join the Church. He would have many mentors on this journey including, but not limited to, Madeline Joan Santulli. He at once noticed the beauty and wit of her, but it would not be until many moons later that he would see her as his potential love interest... During the Season of Lent in the Year of Our Lord 2021, something changed. Finally our hero began seeing just how special this woman was, and started his noble quest of winning her hand. After many long walks and wide ranging conversations he had finally done it, bravely and heroically asking Madeline to go on a date with him. This date would consist of a nice sit-down dinner followed by a rigorous game of miniature golf, one that our fair lady would go on to lose in dramatic fashion. From that day forward they continued to grow in love of one another, before finally culminating in a proposal of marriage on a blustery October day on the beach. Since you are reading this it means she said yes to our hero and agreed to be wedded to him on December 28th of this current year.
