Our Love Story
How We Met
We met in church, which feels very fitting for how our journey would unfold.
For him, it was only his third Sunday attending. For her, it was another day quietly serving and going about her duties. We happened to sit beside each other that day, exchanged nothing more than shared air and a seat, and carried on. It felt simple and unassuming, or so it seemed.
The truth is, she did not notice him at all that day. He, however, noticed her and carried that quiet curiosity into the week.
POV: Ayo
That morning, I came seeking God's direction about life in Canada. I did not expect the ushers to be part of a bigger story. Something about her stayed with me, and over time my convictions grew. I waited, prayed, and decided to take a small but courageous step, not all at once, but at the right time.
POV: Soddy
A few Sundays later, while I was serving, he walked up to introduce himself. It was simple, kind, and sincere, and that was when I finally took notice. From there, small conversations began, never rushed and always thoughtful. Faith, values, and goals aligned naturally, like pieces finding their place.
The Journey Continues
Convictions were confirmed and we confirmed that what was unfolding between us was not accidental but intentional and divinely guided.
Over the weeks, our quick greetings turned into conversations, and those conversations became something we both looked forward to. After almost two months, we exchanged numbers. What started as "once in a while" talking gently became "every day," and neither of us wanted to unlearn it.
From sitting in the same church row to standing here today, we are grateful for how God uses the simplest moments to begin the most beautiful stories.
