Our Story

He said...

I've always seen Amanda as this charming, confident and independent woman. She is a leader at church and work, popular and ambitious. Honestly, she was the kind of person I thought was way out of my league (and still is!).​

I didn’t have the courage to approach her. I convinced myself it wasn’t the right time or that she was just too good for me. But one day, I had this lightbulb moment. A voice echoed in my head saying: "If you don't take action, someone else will. This is something you can’t let slip away.”​ So, I gathered my courage, said a little prayer for strength, and went for it. And everything just fell into place.

That’s how it all started. There were definitely moments where I questioned: "What have I gotten myself into?"
(Amanda: Excuse me?)

 

But looking back, it turned out to be the best decision I’ve ever made. She complements me in ways I never expected and played a huge role in helping me grow closer to God. We share the same vision, and we’re ready to achieve even more together. If I could do it all over again, I wouldn’t hesitate for a second!

I’d choose her every time!

She said...

I remember him as the guy who always came up with last minute excuses to skip cell group. So when he replied to my Instagram story years later, I was curious but cautious. Still, I invited him to a hike (with friends of course) and we started chatting more. 

He asked me out for the first time, and to my surprise, he was warm and so easy to talk to. One dinner led to a late night conversation, and suddenly, I was seeing a different side of him - one that I'd never expected, but deeply appreciated.

What really stood out wasn't just the comfortable conversations - it was really the way he began to take his faith seriously. That mattered to me more than anything, cause I had always prayed for a partner who shares the same heart for God.

 

I guess this is what I'd call God's perfect timing.

As time goes by, we grew - not only in affection, but in trust and understanding. God didn't just bring us together,

He came in between us in the best way possible, to shape us and our relationship from inside out. 

We are truly grateful for every step of this journey, and for all the people who have walked alongside us.

We thank God and all of you for bringing us to this day!
