After years of healing from painful past relationships, Bryan and I didn’t know if we would ever love or marry again. With our futures completely in God’s hands, we both took a big leap of faith by joining ChristianMingle. It seemed almost impossible to meet someone on our little island in Hawaii, but we found each other right away! We began messaging, and we met for our first date within a week of our first message. On our first date we felt as if we had known each other forever. We both walked away from the date with a shocking, but exciting, sense that we had just met our future husband or wife.

We talked to or saw each other every day from that point on, and as we prayed, God continued to give us assurance that He had brought us together. Bryan proposed on a romantic sunset cruise just three weeks after our first date! We both felt very strongly that God didn’t want us to wait to start our lives together. We set a wedding date, and we were married less than three months after our first contact on ChristianMingle. We made the sacred covenant of marriage before God and our closest friends and family on November 1st, 2014.

Since being married, God has continued to show us how He perfectly wove our paths together. We are still overwhelmed daily by what He has done, and we love sharing how God used ChristianMingle as part of our story. Our first year of marriage has been absolutely wonderful, and we are closer than we ever imagined two people could be in just a year’s time. We are best friends who are grateful every day for this second chance at true love and happiness, and God gets all of the glory!
