Our Wedding

Our story is one of God's love and blessing in allowing us to find one another and fall in love. Our friendship started with a prayer request, and we have prayed for one another endlessly ever since. We were privileged to be able to partner together for Heather Court, a cotillion in highland springs, and then again for senior prom. So, in a way, the girl in her sparkly ballgown found prince charming and we are living happily ever after. That following summer, our friendship continued to grow. We met for coffee, and like normal friends do, talked for over four hours. later that summer we went to dinner and went to see a movie after "as friends" but, at that point we both somewhat knew something more was afoot. In September of 2022, Luke called and officially asked me on our first date. We never would have guessed what the next three years would hold. Recently we sat down and tried to pinpoint when we started thinking of marriage. We determined the Christmas of 2023 was a turning point. Luke had gotten me a beautiful pair of earrings, which coincidently, came in a little fancy black box. He had to preface it wasn't an engagement ring before I opened it. Although, I think we both began wondering what would have happened if it were. A year after he purchased those earrings, he purchased my engagement ring. The Lord has used this relationship to bring each of us closer to Him. We support each other in difficult times and rejoice together through the good seasons. We each thank God so much for the blessing of simply knowing each other, thank Him again that we are best friends, and thank Him even more so for the privilege and wonderous joy that we are getting married. We hope every guest that attends can feel God's love present and join us in prayer for our future as a married couple.
