Our Love  Story

Two are better than one, because they have a good return for their labor... Though one may be overpowered, two can defend themselves. A cord of three strands is not quickly broken."

— Ecclesiastes 4:9–12

Looking back, this verse beautifully reflects our journey together.

Our story began in 2015 when we met in college. What seemed like a simple encounter became the beginning of a friendship, a partnership, and eventually a love that would stand the test of time. We grew together through life's many seasons, supporting one another as we pursued our dreams, completed our degrees, and passed our licensure examinations.

Over the years, we experienced moments of joy and celebration, as well as challenges that tested our relationship. We had our share of misunderstandings and disagreements, but through every obstacle, we learned the true meaning of commitment—choosing each other every day, even when life wasn't easy.

Just as Ecclesiastes reminds us that "two are better than one," we discovered that we are stronger together than apart. Through every victory and every setback, we found comfort, strength, and encouragement in one another. And as our relationship grew, we came to recognize God's guiding hand throughout our journey the third strand that has kept our bond strong through the years.

As we approach our 11th year together this December, we are filled with gratitude for the memories we've shared, the lessons we've learned, and the love that has continued to grow with time. What began as two young hearts finding their way has become a lifelong promise built on faith, trust, and unwavering love.

Now, surrounded by our family and friends, we are excited to begin the next chapter of our story as husband and wife. We thank God for leading us to this moment and for blessing us with a love that has brought us here today.

And so, after eleven wonderful years, we joyfully choose forever 💍💍.
