Alyssa Choate deserves most of the credit for bringing us together.

Let's take a journey back in time to the Summer of 2021. The sun was shining and the birds were singing.

Alyssa and Ethan became friends while taking Summer Greek at Seminary. They bonded over declensions. (Read: they are nerds). Just before the Fall semester, Rachel entered the scene. She and Alyssa were roommates and quickly became close friends. Alyssa's astute judge of character meant she saw right away that Ethan and Rachel would hit it off. So she started to plant the seeds...

Ethan began coming over to the deaconess house to study Greek with Alyssa. Rachel always happened to be around to chat during their study sessions. Ethan and Rachel spent more and more time together and quickly fell for each other. The rest is history.

We are so glad you can be with us to celebrate the next chapter of our story together!

We are so thankful for you and all you do for us!
