Kristen and Caleb
I didn’t feel in love.
As confused as I was about my feelings, I distinctly remember how strange it was to end our phone calls with just “Good night” and not “Good night, I love you.”
Yvette and AJ
Not Just a “Nice Guy”
Full of hope, but without any expectations, AJ and I intentionally began to cross each other’s paths more and more by attending one another’s Bible studies and young adult groups. It became clear that our budding friendship held the potential for something great.
John and Elizabeth
The Only Hint I Needed
I remember developing a very keen interest in Elizabeth during those three months and, all though she has yet to admit it, I have the suspicion that she felt the same for me.
Chautona & Kevin Havig
People saw a romance that didn’t exist.
Months passed. A year. “Just friends” morphed into “best friends.” And one night, while we were discussing life dreams, I made a statement–one I meant with all my heart.
I said something to the effect of, “Yeah, I don’t see it happening. It’s simple. I don’t want to get married, and I can’t imagine ever meeting anyone to change my mind.” Or something like that.
But the night he broke my jaw in a car accident is the night I truly fell in love with him...
Ashleigh Kittle and Ted Slater
I Do, Of Course!
The funny thing is, when he and his roommate did come over, I spent most of the time talking to his roommate. Ted was too busy snooping around my apartment, trying to learn what he could about me through my surroundings.
Matt and Tillie
Unlikely Love Story
We have had our difficulties like every other couple, but it feels good to know and believe that the years of uncertainty and tough decisions were all a part of God’s will for our lives and our marriage.
Erica DeCarlo & Larry Potter
He asked if he could pray with her
“Larry was not the first person Erica talked to, but he was the first (and only) match who asked if he could pray with her.”
Rebekah Wilhelm & Jared Randolph
Grateful
“I am grateful that as Jared and I dated, we were “under” our parents, who kept a loving eye on us and helped us to sort out tangled issues. They never gave us orders and they refrained from giving perpetual advice; they knew we were adults and thus had no interest in micromanaging our relationship. Yet they also knew that we needed help, and were glad to give it.”
Ella Swain & Harry St. John
He proposed while crossing the street
"The future stretched bright before her and then, quite suddenly, Harold St. John proposed to her while crossing the road in Brighton, dodging the traffic."
Abi and Trevor Ponsford
The Power To Break My Heart
“I don’t know why I did this but something in my heart made me ask “Do I have your full blessing?” It took him a moment to think about what I was asking and then he looked me in the eye and spoke the words that had the power to break my heart.”
Liz & Mark
God? Do You know the rules?
He figured that if he sprang the whole “God wants me to marry you” line, she’d never speak to him again. But he also knew that God is not the kind of person who lets you down when you are trusting Him.
Joey Martin & Rory Feek
Joey + Rory: A Love Story
Everyone advised her to attend a Writer’s Night at the ninety-seat Bluebird Café, a key networking location for singers and songwriters. On the schedule that night was a red-headed songwriter dressed in overalls. As Rory Feek sang the songs he had written, Joey was drawn to the way he wrote and talked, and to his presence: “He just had a real kindness to him.” The more he sang, the more she fell in love. I don’t know who that man is, but I’m gonna marry him someday, she thought. Then Rory introduced his two young daughters, and Joey realized he was already a family man. All the good ones are gone, she mourned.
The End.
The End.
