Our Love  Story

Our journey together was definitely not easy. We would be lying if we said that there were no speed bumps along the way. Everything we do in life is according to His will. God was the Architect of our love, the Compass of our journey, and the Foundation in which we now stand on.


1 Corinthians 13:133
Three things will last forever—faith, hope, and love—and the greatest of these is love.
