How He Asked | Annie + Jacob

Annie and Jacob were reading from the book of Exodus before praying the Liturgy of the Hours on a Monday evening.

At the end of one of the chapters, Jacob stood up, took Annie by the hand, and lead her into the aisle.

A few tender words were exchanged after which Jacob got down on one knee and asked Annie to marry him. And she said yes!

From the Bride:

Christ has been at the center of our relationship long before we were together or before Jacob decided that he wanted to enter the Catholic Church.

We both had been waiting for the right person to come into our lives, and our friends, Sarah and Joseph, knew that we would be a good fit for each other and help lead one another towards Christ.

We went on our first date just a week after we met, and quickly after that we were "official."

It did not take long for us to realize we were with the person we wanted to be with for the rest of our lives.

From the beginning, I was very open about my faith. Jacob would take interest in intellectual conversations and would come to Mass with me weekly.

Over time we each became more attuned to the calling Christ was giving us to come together as husband and wife to help and love each other throughout this life.
