We were at a Young Adult Group event put on at a church that neither of us go to. I thought he had the cutest smile and tried my hardest to get him to sit beside me, but he wouldn’t bite. After a while of group conversations, I just went up to him and started up a conversation one-on-one. He worked up the courage to ask me to dinner after that. I wasn’t too sure about him at first because he was shy and drank Diet Coke, but I quickly learned what an amazing human being he is. Looking back, I don’t really know how it happened, but I suddenly knew that I was in love and wanted to spend every exciting and mundane day with him. John Paul asked me to marry him outside of St. Ann’s after what he calls “the longest 30 minutes of adoration of my life”. I want to say that saying yes that night was the easiest decision I had ever made, but I had already decided I would marry him long before. I’m so glad to share this blessed day with all of you and hope that you will all continue to be a presence in our married lives!

Sara and I first met at a church young adult group and after seeing how beautiful she was, I couldn’t help but to go shy! I thank God everyday that she came to speak to me because I knew right away that she was a very special person. I overcame that shyness and decided that I needed to know her better. I kept asking her on dates and before long we were hanging out all of the time. I cannot express the peace I have felt and the completeness I feel since having met Sara. Every time I prayed, she kept coming up and I knew that God had brought us together. We started to speak about the future we both wanted and I knew that I wanted to spend the rest of my life with her. I had made up my mind and bought a ring, but I was getting ready for a long trip to England and Africa, and I decided that I couldn’t possibly leave without asking her. Everything inside me screamed do it! We go to adoration at St Ann’s together and I couldn’t think of a better way to express my feelings to Sara than with the help of God. Admittedly, I couldn’t focus on prayer all too well knowing that I had the ring in my pocket. I did get in at least one prayer thanking God for Sara and asking for His blessing then I got down on one knee. She did say yes (in case you were wondering), and I am so excited for our future together and I am grateful for all of the support from our friends and family.
