We met during the second half of our freshman year at UNC at an event hosted by our college student ministry. We connected right away and started spending more time together, mostly through mutual friends we’d made that year.

Over the next year, we became close friends and eventually started dating around the time the pandemic sent everyone home. It wasn’t exactly ideal timing, since we couldn’t see each other in person much. But we made it work with lots of FaceTime calls, online games (yes, even Go Fish and Yahtzee), and plenty of late-night conversations.

By the time we were back on campus for junior/senior year, we were making the most of every moment together. We cheered at many UNC games, including being at the Final Four to see the Tar Heels beat Duke, attended student ministry events, went on a mission trip to the Middle East, and spent time with friends on Franklin Street.

Fast forward nearly five years of dating, and we got engaged this past January on a snowy morning in Durham. We are very grateful the Lord allowed our paths to cross, and we hope His love for us will be reflected in our marriage.

We’re so excited to start this next chapter and can’t wait to celebrate with all of you!
