‘Twas a rainy evening on the 15th of January, two-thousand twenty-three in Pasadena, California. Rachael and Karl met each other’s hearts in a restaurant with soft lighting and white linens, their conversation suspended so much in time, that they kept forgetting to order dinner. Good thing the waitress was sweet and patient. Months after that, they knew their prayers had been answered. Alas, cheers to success through online dating, y’all!

Both SoCal natives and old souls— Rachael and Karl would spend the next year ambling through gardens and dreamscaping together. Over that time, they learned much about each other, growing closer and closer, trusting in one another, feeling the blessings of God’s grace in their lives, as their partnership blossomed. They have been together now for over two years, Karl proposed to Rachael on her birthday, the third of July, two-thousand twenty-four. Together they are creating, building and flourishing.

Rachael and Karl thank you all for the many blessings you’re bestowing upon them, by being a part of their celebration and union before God. May good cheer and merriment be felt on the day of their wedding! Yay!

“Then make my joy complete by being like-minded, having the same love, being one in spirit and of one mind.” – Philippians 2:2
