Looking Back Journeys From Meeting To Marriage

Ruth and Steve met through a mutual friend who had been trying to set them up for several years.  It is appropriate that this episode debuts the day after Halloween since they finally set up their first date at a Halloween party!  Steve knew after that first date that Ruth was the girl for him, but it took nearly three more years for them to make it to their wedding day.  I love their story because it shows the importance of patience with each other and trust in God as we travel our journeys in life.  You cannot help but hear the love these two have for each other as they share their story.  Enjoy! 

Kim and Ken have been married for just over thirteen months, but they are not your typical newlyweds. Before meeting each other, they both suffered some pretty devastating losses which could have soured them to the idea of finding love again.  But, with a lot of courage, faith and hope they let the Lord lead them into each other's lives.  As you listen to their story you are going to hear the love they have for each other and the absolute joy they have found in being together.  I promise that this episode will lift your heart and renew your faith in the fact that love, joy, and happiness can be found after heartache!  Enjoy!

Our episode this week features Carter and Babe who have been married for just over a year.  They first met while they were both serving missions in Philidelphia, and their relationship took off pretty quickly when they reconnected after returning home.  It took Babe a little longer to admit that she was ready to tie the knot, but once she did, they were both all in.  Their story features one of the most romantic storybook proposals, sunset included, that we have heard on the podcast.  You are going to love the story of Carter and Babe!

I met Dan and Tonya over twenty years ago when both of our young families had just moved to Anchorage, Alaska.  I've always thought they had a great love for each other and so it was fun to finally be able to hear their story.  They turned a very comfortable friendship with each other into an engagement seemingly overnight.  That engagement has turned into a beautiful marriage of over 24 years.  This is a wonderful story of two very different people planting a seed of love, choosing each other,  and then continuing to love and choose each other every day since!

Taylor and Nicolle have been married for about 5 years and now have two little kids and a beautiful young family together.  Their story not only includes thier courtship journey, but also Taylor's journey in becoming a member of The Chruch of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.  They are such a cute couple and I'm so lucky to have been able to interview them in person because thier love for each other is incredibly evident simply in the way they would look at each other.  I'm sure you will be able to feel that love as you listen to thier story.  Enjoy!

This episode features a wonderful couple who met and fell in love in their home country of Italy.  For Daniela it was love at first sight, and those feelings had to sustain her through a very long engagement.  Their story includes a military assignment, a mission, some very hesitant parents, and two incredibly faithful and patient people.  Please enjoy hearing the journey of Paola and Daniela as we wish them a very happy 30th wedding anniversary!

This week's episode features two of my good friends, Troy and Carisa.  These two are super fun and some of the best people I know.  Troy had to overcome a horrible first impression and they both had to get out of their comfort zones to make their relationship work.  If you want to laugh and enjoy yourself, take time to listen to their story.  Enjoy!
