I am SO excited to bring you today's love story because these two are longtime friends of mine and I adore their relationship. In this episode, I had on Sophie and Brad. Sophie and Brad first met as teenagers in a youth group service. 

They remained good friends while dating other people but after coming home from living in Australia, their love story officially got started. Sophie's family often hosted a Sunday dinner for friends and family and after coming back from her trip her mom advised her to try things out with Brad. Her mom even pushed them to sit by each other during the dinner and Sophie credits this to their relationship! 

This is part one of their love story and the next episode will be sharing everything that happens after their first kiss and their first time exchanging their love for one another.
