We can't wait to celebrate with you!

Erica and I met in early January of 2021. Our first date was over coffee downtown. I was unemployed due to COVID-19 and didn't own a electric shaver. Looking back, it was a miracle she didn't turn right around and walk away. About four months later, I knew I was in love and thought I would marry her one day. Ever since, I have been blessed by the most giving woman I know. Her encouragement has sustained me, her faith strengthened me, and her grace made a way for us to grow. A man can't ask for more - but there is still more, like her wonderful cooking; her love of gardening; how she has never met a stranger; her eagerness to see the world; her heart for missions and charity. As we begin our lifelong journey together, we recall the vision we have tried to extend to others: love, compassion, friendship, encouragement, valuing the work of our hands, wresting beauty from disorder, a desire to see God's kingdom flourish, a sense of adventure, and fearlessness in the face of all things.

Matt and I met for the first time over a cup of coffee when he told me that he was a 12/10 on guitar & answered every last question I asked him. The first week we met we spent at least 5 out of 7 days together and our spark was instantaneous. I knew that I loved Matt within two months and prayed daily that God would prepare me to be a woman worth his while. After a long journey of dating that was filled with adventure, I knew the ring would be coming soon. Matt actually accidentally showed me a picture of the ring a year before he proposed. God's timing for us was flawless as we have walked diligently alongside one another in all highs and lows over the past 3 years and it was a phenomenal day when Matt got down on one knee in the Couterie Forest of City Park. The rest is history and the best is that we have so much ahead of us! I can't wait to see what the next chapter of God's love story holds for us!
