We're Getting Married!
Welcome Family and Friends
Our Story Tim and Mary met in 2016 on Christian Mingle—Tim in Orlando, Mary in South Carolina. After weeks of messages and holiday chats, they went their separate ways in 2017. In 2018, Mary reached out again—the same week Tim learned he was moving to Nashville, Tennessee. They began dating and met that September. Though 2019 pulled them apart, 2020 drew them back together. This time, Mary chose to move to Nashville, and the romance returned. After more growth and reflection, Tim reached out on New Year’s Eve 2023, choosing Mary fully. Following a 21-day fast at the start of 2024, they committed to a new beginning rooted in faith and intention. Since then, they’ve chosen each other daily, learning grace, patience, and understanding. They are each other’s biggest fan, grateful for God’s guidance, and committed to building a marriage grounded in faith, forgiveness, and purpose. Surrounded by family friends and faith they celebrate a love shaped by time and grace. Let forever begin.
