Our Story

Moments we treasure

Forever begins with a single yes.

Love, laughter and a lifetime ahead.

Our Love Story

  1. 2022A first glance at church
  2. 2023Becoming friends
  3. 2024Our first date
  4. 2025Courting, in God’s timing

Zivan first saw Amelia at church in 2022. They became friends in 2023, went on their first date in 2024, and, in God’s divine timing, began courting in 2025.

As they got to know each other on a deeper level, they put God at the centre of their relationship and fell in love. One of the most precious moments in their story came when Zivan delivered the proposal of Amelia’s dreams.

The proposal
The proposal

From the very start they have consistently prayed for God’s will to be done, and God has been faithful to that ever since.

With their blessing
