We both went many miles away from home to attend college and church in Irvine. God saved us both during our first year of college and re-shaped our desires and ambitions in life. We got to know each other in various intentional and casual group settings. We ended up serving in the same ministries, except for the praise team (because Angelo is tone deaf). One day during our senior year, we went running together. During the run, Agnes asked Angelo a lot of intentional questions and demonstrated her care for him very well. Angelo asked her out two weeks later and she said, "now is not a good time", but she never said "no". Six months later, our college pastor preached on the characteristics of godly men and women and Angelo got triggered because he kept thinking about Agnes. So he asked her out again and she said "yes".
