No one could author a better love story than our Creator, God. He had His hand in bringing Martin and Hailey together from the very beginning. Coming out of seasons of singleness and heartache, both Martin and Hailey were praying the Lord would supernaturally intervene in their dating ventures to bring them a Christ-like partner.

Through the kind recommendation of one of Martin's dear friends and the help of a dating app connection, Martin and Hailey met for their first date in Richmond at a local park and then supper at Texas Roadhouse. It soon became evident to both of them that they wanted to spend more and more time together. Time and distance could barely keep the two apart for very long.

The Lord was faithful throughout the dating process to give Martin and Hailey peace in discerning that the best friend they were dating, was who they wanted to spend their life with. After much prayer, time spent with each other's families, and reading of God's word; Martin knew he didn't want to spend a second of his life without having Hailey as his bride. He wanted to live out the love Christ has for His church through embodying it in a marriage with his best friend.

Martin surprised Hailey (even though she told him he would never be able to) and proposed on her family's farm in Hustonville, KY. Much to his excitement, Hailey quickly said "YES!" The two now eagerly await entering a covenant with Christ and one another in Holy matrimony.
