Meredith and Jesse grew up near each other and knew of one another for years, but everything changed during the first night of young adults ministry. They both remembered seeing each other that night, but it wasn’t until a while later that they truly started to notice one another. After Jesse finally worked up the nerve to ask her out, they discovered an instant connection. By their third date, they both knew they’d found the person God had planned for them.

Over the past year, Jesse has become Meredith’s first love—the one she waited and prayed for. She admires his heart for the Lord and his genuine care for people. Together, they’ve shared life’s highs and lows, learning what it means to love each other well. Their relationship is rooted in faith, daily prayer, and a commitment to growing together.

As they get ready to say “I do,” Meredith and Jesse are grateful to have each other and everyone who has supported them along the way. They can’t wait to celebrate with family and friends and start this new chapter together.
