Elijah first noticed Nadia at Fellowship of Christian Athletes, where she was diligently taking notes during Bible study. Something in his heart nudged him to get to know her. A few days later, during exam week, he finally gathered the courage to approach her in the library, and from that conversation their story began.

After Christmas break, Elijah drove 11 hours from Tennessee just to take Nadia on their first date. That evening was filled with endless conversation, laughter, and a sense of peace that only God can give. From that day forward, they knew this was the beginning of something extraordinary.

Through prayer, faith, and God’s guidance, their relationship has continued to grow. What started with a simple step of courage and a long drive has now led to a love rooted in Christ—a love they are excited to celebrate as they begin their marriage journey together.
