It all began at Wyatt’s brother’s wedding— a night full of celebrating Leah and Garrett, and of course, Young Life square dancing (are you surprised? We aren't). With gentle scheming, we ended up as dance partners.

Kenzie went home from the wedding buzzing with excitement, talking with her now sister-in-law and best friend that she had danced with “the cutest guy ever.” Wyatt, for the record, had also taken notice—but in true Wyatt fashion, he played it cool.

Fast forward, and our first “date” finally happened. But in classic Young Life leader style, it wasn’t dinner or a movie— we spent our night watching Kenzie’s YoungLife girls’ basketball game. Romantic? Maybe not traditionally. Perfect for us? Absolutely. Eventually, we leveled up to a real date at the aquarium, where we got to spend a bit more time getting to know each other.

A few dates later, sitting in a Chick-fil-A parking lot (because all sacred moments happen there), Kenzie said “yes” to being Wyatt’s girlfriend. It was simple, joy-filled, and so clearly God-woven.

Looking back, we see the Lord’s hand in every unexpected detail—from square dancing partners to the 2 hours living apart from each other, we became closer and closer. Over time, God has used each season to grow us individually and together: teaching us patience, deepening our friendship, and shaping our hearts to look more like Christ. We’re grateful for His gentle guidance, His perfect timing, and the way He has written our story with intentionality and grace.

And now, with the same joy that started on a dance floor, we can’t wait to step into the next chapter—walking forward together, trusting the One who brought us here.
