Our Wedding

Owen and Elaina first met during the fall semester of 2023 in a college class where they were both majoring in Exercise Science. At the time, they were just acquaintances — two students who shared a love for working out and sports. During the spring semester of 2024, Elaina began attending Westwood Church and Tuesday Night Bible Studies. While getting more involved, she couldn’t help but notice Owen’s devotion to God’s Word and his eagerness to serve, and before long, she found herself starting to like him. Through serving and spending time together in the church community, a genuine friendship began to form. The following summer, both joined a summer project through Westwood. Each morning, Owen would meet his friend Cam for Bible study, and he often noticed Elaina sitting in the gazebo reading her Bible. She was always there before they arrived and still there after they finished — something that quietly stood out to him. Within the first couple of weeks of the project, Owen began to see Elaina in a new light and decided to ask her out on a date. Elaina said yes, but after that first date, she chose to focus on God during the project and not pursue dating just yet. When summer ended and they both returned home, they reconnected and officially began dating. One year later — after countless laughs, coffee dates, and many days at Westwood Church growing in faith together — Owen got down on one knee and proposed. And, of course, Elaina said yes! They can’t wait to see what God has in store for their next chapter — marriage!
