Our Story

God is Able

As Shan was on the verge of deactivating her dating profile, she received a message from Quint. Little did he know, Shan had recently decided to focus more on deepening her relationship with God than on worldly connections. Quint's kind spirit resonated deeply from their very first exchange. A friendly banter about 90s culture and music quickly paved the way for intentional dating. Their conversations were not just casual; they were spiritually centered, expressive, and flowed effortlessly. Time seemed to stand still whenever they were together, each moment deepening their connection. It soon became clear to Shan that Quint was not meant to distract her from her spiritual journey but to walk alongside her, guiding her closer to God. They began sharing their life visions, discovering a shared commitment to faith and family at the core of their dreams. What might have been considered "difficult" conversations for others were embraced as opportunities for open, authentic connection. They made a mutual decision to prioritize emotional and spiritual intimacy, stripping away superficialities to reveal their truest selves to each other. After months of prayer, personal growth, and guidance from mentors, Quint took the next step and asked Shan to spend her life intimately intertwined with his. Little did he know, just days before, Shan had realized she was ready to embark on this lifelong journey with him. "I want to see the world in the eyes of the one who see's the world in me" - Shan "Givers should be with givers, how can we out serve one another " - Quint

We have elected to have an "Unplugged Ceremony" and ask our guests to refrain from using their personal devices take photos / video, or post on social media for the duration of the ceremony. This will allow our PAID professionals to capture the best images and videos without disturbance. Let's create memories with our hearts, not our cameras. Thank you for respecting our wishes.

Your presence at our wedding is the greatest gift we could ask for! If you would like to honor us with a gift, you can bless our honeymoon fund or purchase a gift from our registry to be shipped directly. A wedding card box and table (if you decide to bring any gifts) will be at our wedding.
