Brandon,
I’m sure you get stories like this every day, but as silly as it is, I felt like sharing mine with you. In a little over 2 months, I’m marrying my God- given gift, my fiancĂ© Trent. I met Trent at church, of all places, at the Great Banquet, a Christian retreat. His mom literally had to force me outside of my comfort zone to talk to him- she grabbed my arm and dragged me over to be introduced to him. The rest is a history that’ll be writing itself for the rest of our lives. The night Trent took me on our first date, I went home and wrote this:
I’ve known Trent was the one for me since that first date. So many couples today set their love story to the tune of top 40 radio, and there’s nothing wrong with that. Instead, Trent and I fell in love listening to KLOVE and Christian country artists like Darius Rucker and Josh Turner... and you. We went to your concern with Matt Maher at Northview Church in Noblesville, IN, and in the weeks before and after, we shared stories about our grandpas as Paul Brown Petty played and planned our future home and kids alongside Love Will Be Enough. We found inspiration through The Light In Me and opened ourselves to God’s continued plans for us in the words of Wait and See. Our time together has been an adventure, and I love every day with Trent. I know you’re a newlywed yourself, and I can’t even imagine how exciting life is right now. Just know that you’re cordially invited to our wedding- October 3, 2014 at the Indianapolis Zoo- where I’ll be walking down the aisle to your song Love Never Fails.
You likely hear it every day, but your music sets the soundtrack to so many people’s lives. Thank you for the role you’ve played in mine.
"Where it's you and me, baby, in the daffodils, kids growing up in the rollings hills, and love will be enough for us."
