Noah and Annalisa met their freshman year at Samford University in Birmingham, AL. What began as a close friendship quickly blossomed into something more - they both knew the Lord was drawing them toward one another. The summer before sophomore year was marked by daily phone calls, handwritten letters, and Noah's trip to Charlotte to visit Annalisa on his twentieth birthday. Shortly after, both Noah and Annalisa knew this relationship was divinely orchestrated and something truly special.

Noah asked Annalisa to be his girlfriend on September 21st, 2022, to which she immediately said yes! They spent the next few years growing closer to the Lord and to each other. Some of their favorite dates have been countless country concerts, dinner dates, game days in Knoxville, and day trips to the beach. But most importantly, they became each other's truest and deepest friend - the one person you simply want to be with all the time.

On February 14th, 2025, Noah pulled off a surprise proposal and asked Annalisa to marry him! Through (lots of) happy tears, she said yes. It was the sweetest day of celebration and answered prayers. With joyful anticipation, Noah and Annalisa look forward to June 13th - the day they will enter into the covenant of marriage. The Lord has been so faithful!

"So they are no longer two, but one flesh. Therefore, what God has joined together, let no one separate."

Matthew 19:6
