Erika was attending Grand Canyon University when she decided to visit a young adults group at a church in Chandler, AZ. That choice ended up changing everything.

That’s where she met Wesley—kind, funny, thoughtful, and everything she didn’t even realize she’d been hoping to find. The two instantly clicked, spending the entire evening laughing and talking like old friends. Before the night was over, Wesley asked for her number, and shortly after, he asked her on their first date.

One date turned into two… then three… then four—until suddenly it was clear this was something special. When the school year ended and Erika had to return to Washington for the summer, they faced their first challenge: long distance. But neither of them had any doubt—it was worth it.

Not before long Wesley made the decision to move to Washington so they could continue growing together, side-by-side instead of state-to-state.

The rest? Well... judging by where you’re reading this, we’d say it’s going pretty great.💍✨
