23 | They shared a hospital nursery as babies, met again as teens and one night Julie prayed she would marry Brian. A year later, they had their 1st date. A divine love story decades in the making.

Julie and Brian’s story began long before either of them could imagine it—side-by-side as newborns in the same hospital nursery. Their lives brushed past each other again at sixteen, and once more at twenty for a single unforgettable evening. That night, God woke Julie at 2:30 a.m. with a clear prompting to pray that she would one day marry Brian.
A year later, Brian re-entered her life… and this time, he stayed.
Their first date was a flop, the second date reset expectations, and then came the summer of 1982 when they both knew a match had been made.
Three years of long-distance followed while Brian was in medical school, and still no ring until just two weeks before the wedding. And then—finally—they stepped into their own happily ever after.
However; ten years of medical training and six children caused seasons of deep trials, but after an unforgettable medical mission together in Africa almost cost them their lives, they learned to trust each other and become a team. Since then, their love and relationship have grown stronger every day.
