The Minter family and the Durning family met in the Summer of 2014 on a warm, Sunday afternoon. The friendship between Seth and I, however, did not take root until a few years later. We began to have deeper conversations after a discipleship seminar that my family hosted at our house in the Summer of 2018. During this seminar, many late-night group debates, games, and activities began to occur particularly as the budding romance of our siblings, Josh and Kaylin, unfolded. With our siblings interested in each other, Seth and I would regularly feed off of each other and poke fun of the twitter-pated couple. This playful banter soon developed into more serious personal conversations between us and ultimately led to a very close friendship. Eventually, after about a degree and a certificate of school, hundreds of hours of work, and thousands of miles of travel between us, the spark of a romantic relationship surprised us all. After a month of prayer, we officially began dating in October 11, 2019 and a few short months later, celebrated our engagement on January 20, 2020. We could not be more excited to share this special day with you!
