He has loved her for a long, long time.
They met when they were about four, their families spending Easter at a retreat centre in Saskatoon every year, knowing each other as kids & awkward teenagers before the only slightly less awkward adult stage that brought about their relationship. It may not have been love at first sight, but Gabe has shown he knows how to pursue her, how to pause when necessary, how to patiently wait for a woman as vibrant as Kaylene.
It paid off, y’all. Seriously.
Their first date was at a lighthouse & while I’ll leave the details of that first date to the side splitting speech delivered by Gabe’s brother at the reception, it’s delightful to note that, without thinking about it, part of their décor ended up being lighthouse tealight lanterns. A guest commented on it, connecting their first date to their details, all the while bringing it together even more:
These two are a light.
Their relationship has a radiance that can’t be attributed simply to them; Jesus is an integral part of their lives. They’ve each poured time into having a personal relationship with God & that has brought them together as a couple all the more strongly. The thing people are attracted to in Gabe & Kaylene, that light people can actually see, is the joy that comes from knowing & following Jesus.
Gabe & Kaylene, you’re go big or go home people & I’ve been welcomed with nothing but giant hugs, uncontrollable laughter, & deep heart-to-hearts from you. I know I’m not the only one who has tangibly experienced the love, joy, & delight of Jesus through you two.
What an honour to celebrate the beginning of your marriage with you.
