Have you ever met someone and just clicked?

Well I’ll be honest, that’s not what happened at all with me and Dylan.

The first time we met, we couldn’t stand each other. For a little over a year, we were acquaintances, following that, we were friends, next we began dating, and slowly we became inseparable. We started dating when he asked me to be his girlfriend in front of Dollar General on our way home from eating one night. When I asked him why he waited until the night was over, he told me, in true Dylan form, “because if you said no it would have been weird the rest of the night”.

Every single time I was around him, my stomach would hurt from laughing so much. He has always been the quiet, laid back guy who is unapologetically himself no matter what others think of him. I couldn’t be more grateful that I get to spend the rest of my life laughing with him.

Through the years we’ve seen each other at high points, low points, and every point in between. We’ve grieved the loss of loved ones together, we’ve learned to navigate the adult world, we have cheered each other on through college, jobs, and life in general. But our greatest accomplishment by far is seeing each other grow in Christ. Personally, I got to see the shy 18 year old boy I really liked go from coming to church on Sundays just so he could see me to transforming into a God fearing man who loves the Lord.

God does not make a single mistake and He is absolutely in every detail of our story. And the best part is, it’s just beginning. We can’t wait for a lifetime of learning how to love one another more, love the Lord more, and seek His will for us and our marriage.

“Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love”
