Our Wedding

God brought us together online, and we began talking long distance over the phone until we were finally able to meet in person. From the very start, we knew we loved each other, even though it felt too soon to say it out loud. Our conversations covered everything—the past, the present, and the future—and it quickly became clear how much we had in common. Our personalities, our habits, our sense of humor, and our faith all lined up. We share similar goals and a deep connection in how we view theology. Though we’re not perfect, we make it a goal to pray together every day. We encourage each other to keep our focus on God and lean on Him for strength and guidance. Over time, our individual faiths have grown stronger, and so has our relationships with the people around us. We’ve developed a deeper appreciation for life and for the people we love. Through it all, we’ve helped each other heal and grow in ways we never expected. Now, with hearts full of joy, we look forward to the next step in our journey together—marriage. It’s just the beginning of something beautiful.

Meeting One Another was a Blessing
