We love out loud, and we keep God first. Through it all, we’re each other’s safe place. We choose each other every day with faith & trust.

Our love story began on Tinder. Even though we lived an hour apart and he worked long days, he always made time to see me often showing up with flowers in hand. His effort, consistency, and heart won me over. What started with a swipe turned into something real. With God at the center, love in action, and lots of laughter, we’ve built something beautiful and it just keeps growing.
What is your favorite memory you've shared as a couple?When we slow danced at our church’s country themed dance. We were helping out that night, but he still made time to pull me close. As we danced together, people kept saying how cute we looked and in that moment, it truly felt like we were the only two in the room. Serving together, laughing, and loving out loud... it reminded me how lucky I am to have a love like this.
What would you do with $20,000?If we had $20,000, it would be life changing. We both work hard, often long hours, just to keep up with bills and basic needs. Some days feel like survival mode. We’d use the money to build a more stable future, pay off debt, fix up our car, maybe even start saving for a place of our own. We don’t want luxury, we just want peace, a home we can grow in, and the chance to breathe without worrying about the next paycheck.
