I met Noah last fall, and we shared a few fun and memorable dates before losing touch. About a month later, I found myself thinking about him again and wondering if it had been a mistake to let things end. I didn’t quite know what to do with those feelings, so I sat with them for a while. A few weeks later, I went to a worship night at my church and to my surprise, Noah was there! We weren’t attending the same church at the time, so I was genuinely surprised to see him. As the night wrapped up, I decided to make my move and approached him just before he left. We caught up briefly, and I invited him to meet me for a drink the next day. On that date, I rambled nervously about how I regretted not continuing to see him and how I wanted another shot to explore what could be between us. I’ll never forget the way Noah grinned across the table at me, half confused about what I was rambling on about, and agreed we needed a second shot. From that moment on, we were inseparable. I quickly realized he was the one I’d been praying for since I was a little girl. Just two weeks after we became official, I secretly began writing Noah love letters to be opened on the night of our future engagement. Some may say that's a tad prosumptuous, but I say when you know, you know! The very first letter began with, “Let the record state that I, Ryanna Jensen, know that you are my future husband.” And I was right. Noah is kind, wise, Godly, gracious, and abundantly selfless. He gently leads me toward the woman I’ve always hoped to become and guides me when I feel weak or doubt myself. I am overwhelmed with joy to be marrying my best friend, my confidant, my protector, my provider. I love you, Noah Wallace.

I met the most beautiful woman in the world on October 28, 2024 and nothing has been the same since. Ryanna and I shared a few lovely dates last fall. I literally jumped for joy and clicked my heels together after our first kiss, after she had driven away of course. We stopped going on dates before the holidays, so naturally I assumed I would never see this incredible woman again. Thankfully I was very wrong. On a cold Friday in January I saw Ryanna post a Worship Night event for her church, which I was familiar with because of some mutual connections. I got my friends together and we showed up to this event for a night of fellowship and worshiping the Lord. I saw Ryanna on my way in but we didn’t chat until after the service, when that beautiful woman who I had met 3 months before tapped me on the shoulder. I was pleasantly surprised when she proposed meeting up the next day and thrilled when she told me that she wanted to give dating another try. We quickly realized how profound our connection was and I asked her to be my girlfriend 2 weeks later. 6 months to the day from that moment, I asked Ryanna to be my wife. Ryanna is the most gentle, kind, Godly, loving, and funny woman I have ever known. She encourages me to be a better man and we’ve both grown so much in the time we’ve been together. I can’t wait to grow with Ryanna for the rest of my days. Ryanna you are far more precious than jewels and I thank God for you every day, I love you.
