Our Story

From "hello" to forever.

It began quietly — while serving together in the Youth ministry of their local church. Two ordinary lives, led by an extraordinary God, found their paths gently folding into one.

Him

Deo

A bald, unapologetically mayonnaise-obsessed bachelor — a grateful prodigal son of the Lord, carrying a quiet heart and a readiness to be loved.

Her

Chloe

A gentle, chilli-obsessed bachelorette — a precious daughter of the Lord, carrying quiet grace and a softness that steadies everything around her.

Friendship bloomed through shared prayer, long conversations, and the slow, sure rhythm of two lives being knit together by the Author of every good story. What began as fellowship became love — the kind that feels both brand new and like coming home.

On a golden afternoon in East London, Deo asked the only question that mattered. Chloe said yes. On 13 June 2026, surrounded by those who shaped them, they will step into the covenant of marriage — together.

"He has made everything beautiful in its time."

Ecclesiastes 3:11 · ESV

— and you're invited to witness it.
