Reuben and Vanessa met on social media after Vanessa happened to see one of Reuben’s videos where he was talking about his faith. She genuinely loved what he said, sent the video to a friend, and followed Reuben’s account.
When Reuben saw that Vanessa had followed his account, he looked at her social media and noticed that she posted clips of a church he had been watching online. After liking and commenting on Vanessa’s posts, Reuben decided to reach out and ask if Vanessa attended that church.
We started talking about the books we loved, the pastors and podcasts we listened to, and the things God was doing in our lives. The more we talked, the more we realised just how much we had in common.
After 13 flights back and forth, four years of long distance, hundreds of FaceTimes, and thousands of messages, we're finally here sending out wedding invitations and getting ready to begin married life together.
