Matthew and Julia met through the memory-filled highschool hallways. Though they went to school together for six years, they didn't have interest in each other until one day in the athletic training room as they shared their love for highschool sports. From then on, they have been growing and following Jesus together. That was in early 2022, two and a half years ago. Although their story represents a typical highschool sweetheart rom-com, they believe their story is more than just another page in a book, but is rather a beautiful intertwined passion created by and for God.

Since the very beginnning, Matthew and Julia have awaited this exciting day and know that this is the powerful hand of God at work. They know God has prepared them and ordained them for a covenant together before the Father and they cannot wait until the day arrives that they start the beginning of their favorite journey yet. Matthew and Julia pray that their love, relationship, and marriage would point directly to the Gospel. Like this, their goal and desire for their love story is to share the love of Jesus to a broken world. And they are excitedly looking forward to the day that they get to celebrate this joining with everyone they love.
