We "met" in February of 2021 on an online dating app called "Bumble". Coincidentally, it was the day AFTER valentines day. Bumble is where the girls initiate the conversation, and if there was ever a harder profile to start a conversation with, it was Sam's. No fun facts about him in the profile, no ice breakers and not much information in general. Normally this would warrant a "swipe left reject" for Morgan, but something told her to take a chance. Some may say it was a fluke, desperation or fate. We truly believe it was God. There was nothing that initially indicated a match for us, yet we were drawn to each other. Soon after initial conversations, Morgan ended things temporarily to pursue a more forward and direct suiter. But she never stopped thinking about him, and he never stopped thinking about her. After a month of pursuing another, Morgan realized Sam was a once in a lifetime opportunity. She reached out again, hesitantly hopeful her opportunity was still waiting for her. He was. Feelings, conversations, and interactions flourished from then on, and we began dating in April of that same year. What some people might not know about us is that we didn't actually start dating like normal couples until that summer. Sam has a family member with auto immune diseases. With Covid still heavily prevalent in that time, the first few months of chatting and dating consisted of facetimes and walks around neighborhoods. We couldn't experience anything normal couple so freely partake in. Although at times discouraging, not knowing if the light at the end of the tunnel would appear, we always knew we were each other's endgame. We would walk around, sit in fields car trunk to car trunk, talking for hours on end about anything and everything. We knew one day God would be faithful, and allow us to one day show the world how we felt for each other internally. That day finally came, at the top of Multnomah Falls in Oregon, where we received a text from a family member that his relative had gained sufficient antibodies and it would be safe enough to "kiss your girlfriend". Sam would later propose at Multnomah Falls, where we took our fist picture together that wasn't a facetime screenshot, or selfie from afar. We learned during this time and through our relationship that God is faithful. He rewards us in the waiting and whether we wait a week, a few months or decades, we have a God who doesn't forget. He heard our heart cries for each other. He heard our prayers and our conversations, and saw our faithfulness to Him and each other. Sam had never experienced a woman who was his and only his, a woman who showed and expressed genuine support for him. A woman who encouraged him to be his best because she knew he was worth seeing God's love for him embodied through her. Morgan had never experienced a man who was hers and only hers, a man who showed her she is worth pursuing beyond what she could give physically. A man who devoted himself to humbly healing pieces of her heart through service, because he knew she was worth seeing God's love for her embodied through him. God fulfilled His promises for us in our individual lives, and as a couple. He knew exactly what we needed and kept us confident in uncertainty. Uncertainty about trying new things, taking a chance, dating differently, and numerous trials. Three years later, we get ready to marry each other; knowing we are marrying our best friend, our number one fans, and our representations of God's love for us in the purest form. We are honored to marry each other. God is so good.
