Our story started the way a lot of modern love stories do—online. What began as a simple conversation turned into something more… even though our first date was a little awkward and not quite what we expected, something kept us talking—and we are glad it did. As we kept getting to know each other, our connection grew stronger. Over the past three years, we have built a life full of love, laughter, and faith. We have made special memories together, including a vacation to Texas, spending time with family, getting a little competitive over board games, cheering at STL sports games, and serving together at church. Along the way, Stephanie learned how to play Magic: The Gathering (proof that love is patient), and Brad has sat through his fair share of musicals (proof that love is also kind).

Ephesians 3:20 "Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us." We believe that God knows how to give good gifts, and our relationship is one of them—a blessing we do not take for granted.

"Time, curious time

Gave me no compasses, gave me no signs

Were there clues I didn't see?

And isn't it just so pretty to think

All along there was some

Invisible string

Tying you to me?"
