People often say long distance and online dating apps don't work. We are here today to tell you a different story, our story.
What started out as a downloaded distraction and a swipe right, turned into a summer we will never forget.
With God and the power of prayer, we quickly started building our foundation from the very first message.
Jenny was drawn to Ryan's profile, where his faith and love for his daughter shone brightly. A simple swipe right opened the door to a future neither of us could have imagined. Four days later, Ryan swiped right, and our conversation began 13 days after that, starting a beautiful journey we never looked back from.
Despite the 863 miles between us, with Jenny in Florida and Ryan in Tennessee, our connection grew stronger with each text and phone call. Faith and communication became the bricks of our foundation. After countless prayers and heartfelt conversations, Jenny took a leap of faith. On September 1st, without ever having seen each other face-to-face or on FaceTime, Ryan picked Jenny up from the airport. That weekend of firsts became the foundation of what we now call home.
Every moment spent together reaffirmed that Tennessee was not just a place, but a feeling-a home that God had prepared for us. As we continued to pray and trust in His timing, Jenny began seeking opportunities to close the distance. In January 2023, God answered that prayer and with excitement and love in her heart, Jenny packed her car and embarked on a 14-hour journey to build on our future together.
Our story is a testament to faith, love, and the beautiful surprises life holds when you trust in God's plan. We are thrilled to share this next chapter with you, as we step into forever, hand in hand.
