Madelyn and Chris met through their church at a time when both had been single for a couple of years and praying for the right person to come along. Meanwhile, Madelyn had given her church friends a very detailed checklist: tall, dark, handsome, a man of God, genuinely kind. Of course, God was already weaving their story together. He had Chris move all the way from LA to Texas, lining up every detail long before they met. Her friends spotted him quickly, which is how Chris ended up stopping by Madelyn’s work one day. They went on a date that very night, and it was exactly as it should be, easy to fall in love. Chris turned out to be the world’s most patient listener, which works out perfectly because Madelyn has never met a story she didn’t want to tell. It didn’t take long for them to realize they were exactly what they’d both been praying for. Now they can’t wait to celebrate their story—one full of faith, laughter, and a lot of love—with the people who helped bring it to life.
