This is a story of how a boy from France met an American girl & spoiler... they fall in love.

It all began when Trevi moved to Paris to become an Au Pair (nanny) from 2021-2022. During her stay, she also served at a church that sang American Gospel music. Here, Trevi sang in the church's choir. During the Christmas season in 2021, Trevi went on a "tour" in France singing at different Gospel concerts where she would have a solo singing "My Life is in Your Hands" to live audiences of hundreds of people.

On December 11th, 2021, Trevi did just that in a church right outside of Amiens. Little did she know, one of those people in the audience would later become her future husband.

Adrien, at this time, was serving as a College Student pastor at the FEU (a group for students to learn more about Jesus together).

While in Amiens, the choir director Trevi's choir came to Amiens to give a demonstration of the music to invite the attendees (such as Adrien) to come to their Christmas concert later that December.

Adrien decided to do just that at a church right outside of Amiens. Little did he know, the girl on stage would later become his future wife.

On December 11th, Adrien was in the audience after arriving a little late with his friends Daniel & Grace.

At one point while watching Trevi's solo, Adrien made a joke to his friends whispering "where's my ring?" implying that he was interested in proposing to Trevi on the spot. His friends did not ignore his silly display of interest & after the concert they insisted that he go talk to Trevi.

Adrien was horrified by the idea as he thought "it would never work out" or "she probably already has a boyfriend" as he didn't want to embarrass himself or make Trevi uncomfortable. That's when Daniel & Grace then decided to come with him to talk to Trevi.

As Trevi was helping "tear down" the set, as she was wrapping microphone cords & other wires, she noticed a group of 3 young people her age standing in front of her. She looked up & met Grace, then Daniel, then Adrien. She noticed how attentive & sincere the one in the middle was... Adrien.

As they all talked, they realized how broken Trevi's french was at the time as she misunderstood questions only to answer something completely different than the topic. When the others told her about her error, Adrien insisted she continued what she was saying anyways-once again, with those attentive eyes. Adrien's english was somehow at an even lower level than Trevi's french so that first conversation with all 3 of them was more mysterious & well-intended than informative.

At the end of this exchange, Trevi gave Grace her instagram username "just in case" so that she would "put the ball in someone else's court" to reach out & keep contact.

Adrien did just that.

With Trevi & Adrien living in two different cities nearly 2 hours apart, they resorted to calling & texting- which, Trevi admits not to being the best at responding at this time as she was busy with her nannying & frankly wasn't yet sure about Adrien as she was going to move back home to America soon enough anyways.

Adrien, however, was persistent & would wait for those, sometimes, 2 week-later response times. During one of their first calls, the two of them randomly decided to both draw the colosseum & a frog in quick doodles. Following this call, 2 weeks later, Adrien astonished Trevi with presenting to her an elaborate & impressively detailed drawing of the colosseum & frog as a reference to their first call.

This intentionality caught Trevi's eye at last!

After months of these texts & calls, Adrien offered to visit her in Paris where he drove 2 hours one way after waking up early to arrive at her doorstep by 9am as Trevi just dropped the children off at school. He drove her (with his stick-shift car) to Paris where they walked, talked, took the metro, & ate Pad Thai together.

On the drive back to take Trevi home, Adrien admitted his feelings as he wanted to be upfront to avoid any "games" or "mixed signals." Trevi, though floored by his immediate directness, accepted his invitation to be exclusive as she agreed to pray with him for God's wisdom in potentially becoming boyfriend & girlfriend in the near future.

The two of them had the chance to hang out only 3 more times until Trevi flew back home to the US.

3 weeks later, Adrien took his first trip to America, landing in Austin Texas to spend 10 days with Trevi. Adrien then met Trevi's parents, brother, & dog before, days later, becoming Trevi's boyfriend on June 29th, 2022.

Following this special date, there have many long distance WhatsApp calls, grand buying-expensive- tickets-to-visit-each-other gestures, & God working miracles to get them to where the two are now.

Since then, the two have been pursuing a relationship with God together ever since as they fall somehow even more & more in love.
