Our Wedding

Noelle and I met in August of 2020. Back then, the world was covered by masks and social distancing, but all we needed to get to know each other were our eyes. We got to know each other in Chi Alpha, our campus ministry, where we connected through card games, car rides, after church lunches, and early morning runs. We bonded over our love of books and music (ask Noelle about the Surf’s Up soundtrack or ask me about John Steinbeck). Eventually, I asked her to be my girlfriend at the same park where we once went stargazing, and we started dating in May of 2021. Dating took us everywhere. We travelled across the country, from Idaho to Florida, trying new experiences, volunteering at festivals, hiking up mountains, and getting to know each other better. Everything changed. Morning runs became easier, coffee tasted different, songs sounded better, parking lots had meaning. We could spend hours talking about nothing and everything under the sun. We developed our relationship with God as individuals and as a couple, and spent time learning about each other’s culture. As we transitioned out of college, we learned to adapt to new changes together and eventually transitioned into a long distance relationship in July 2023. We wrote letters and planned dates months in advance. We watched movies and shows late at night over video calls, but nothing could replace what was missing. We missed each other. Dates were few and far between and our time was limited on weekend visits. So I planned a big date. I got our friends involved, researched restaurants and the weather, designed a ring, and told a lie to get her here: “Come watch me run a 10K on February 10th.” I proposed at the same park in Denton where we once went stargazing, where we used to run 5Ks, and where I asked her to be my girlfriend. Our friends threw together a big party, and everything was perfect. We’re very excited to start this next chapter in our lives, and we really hope you can be there!
