Back in 2022, we had friends trying to set us up for months. I refused to meet him, even though I had stalked him on Instagram and thought he was cute. On December 3rd, we both ran into each other at the gym. We made eye contact, so I ran out, called my best friend, and she forced me to go back into the gym. Nathan, as confident as ever, came up to me and said, "Are you the legend Ana I've been hearing about?"

That's the day it all began. Nathan pursued me in the way that my dad said I always deserved. He was set apart, and it was evident. After our official first date at Mellow Mushroom, Nathan called his mom and said, "I just went out with the woman I am going to marry." And he was right. The next couple weeks included flowers, dates, surprise sticky notes, laughter, and a whole lot of talking. (Not a surprise if you know me or Nathan. There is never a lot of silence!)

On January 17th, 2023, after Nathan met my family, he took me to Riverfront Park and asked me to be his girlfriend. A year and some time later, on February 24th, 2024, Nathan took me back to Riverfront Park and asked me to be his wife.

There are a lot of details in our story that point to the faithfulness of the Lord. He has been leading and guiding both of us long before we met. Because we both pursued the Lord apart from each other, our relationship has been so fruitful as we now pursue Him together. God is faithful and kind, and we are so excited to be ministry partners and best friends forever!
