How we met
Friends to Forever
Our story began before we ever met. Through Emmanuel’s friendship with Natalia’s dad, we had heard each other’s names before we ever crossed paths.
When we finally met, what grew first was a genuine friendship — one rooted in Christ, a shared love for God’s Word.
With time, that friendship began to deepen. Emmanuel eventually shared that his feelings had grown beyond friendship. With more intentional conversations, deeper questions, plenty of laughter, and the joy of discovering each other in a whole new way, we began to see that what God had started as friendship was becoming something much more.
What started as friendship slowly, beautifully, developed into rich love.
And now, the person who was once our best friend is also our life partner. We’re incredibly grateful for how God has written our story so far, and even more grateful that we get to begin this next chapter together — as husband and wife, sacrificially like Christ and his bride, the Church.
