Introduction
We are Chandler and Hannah, a young married couple trucking through this thing called life. We are going on five years of marriage living in the far off land of Lebanon, Tennessee. It's surely by the grace of God alone that we have survived the earliest years of our marriage and we continue to do so. We want to share our journey with you- our love, laughter, tears, craziness, and joy for the Lord.
Our Story
It all started at the happiest place on earth, when a southern belle from Tennessee met a business man from Iowa. In the spring of 2015, Hannah participated in the Disney College Program in Orlando, Florida. She would have never guessed that those short four months would turn into something so much greater. Chandler was one of Hannah's Leaders in Animal Kingdom on her Program. From the moment they met they had a quirky, silly relationship. Hannah would check Chandler's schedule and Chandler would come out of his way to “casually” run into Hannah just so they could chat for five minutes about nothing at all. In very little time, they developed a friendship that was sure to last forever.
Four months went by all too quickly, and on Hannah's very last day of work Chandler asked Hannah out to what she thought was a casual lunch between friends. It turned out to be the best first date ever! Hannah headed home the next day and from there it was a bumpy ride. As hard as every day was just getting to know one another from so far away, Hannah knew deep in her soul that it was worth the uphill battle. God truly has a sense of humor; they are a living example of just that. Only He knows how on earth two equally stubborn and strong headed people could possibly bring out the best in one another. It was only by the grace of God that they found peace and a relationship in the midst of their own chaos.
If you ask Chandler he’ll say he asked Hannah to be his girlfriend 100 times before she said yes. In truth, it was probably more like 40. He just couldn’t take no for an answer. They dated for a year trying to combat the long distance with monthly trips and long Facetime calls. It was finally on August 17 of 2016 at Granny’s house in Selma, Alabama where Chandler asked Hannah to be his wife. Hannah sobbed “Yes”, ugly tears and all, especially when he surprised her by having her parents and his own father come to town for the occasion.
After a year of planning the wedding and a big move back to Florida for good, the day arrived and it was everything they wanted it to be. A Christ-centered wedding to begin a lifetime of a Christ-centered marriage. Chandler and Hannah know that they are where they are because they choose to walk the path He has laid before them. They both choose Christ daily and in turn choose one another. That in itself is the real dream come true.
