It’s a story of God’s faithfulness and His perfect timing.

Since we were both children, we both dreamed of getting married one day. We both dreamed of the day we’d meet “the one.” Little did we know the perfect timing that day would occur.

We both lived completely separate lives up until 2019. We grew up in different towns not too far from each other but never knew the other person existed. But God had His hand in our story the whole time.

We both went to separate colleges.

I graduated from Coastal Carolina University in December 2016 where I was friends with his close cousins through a Bible study, but I had no idea Wesley existed. The same time Wesley graduated from the University of South Carolina in December 2016, not knowing I existed. We still did not meet until 2 years later.

After graduating college, we both began our adult lives where Wesley started his career and I felt called to go on to more schooling to study medicine-another dream of mine! I, Amelia, blindly moved to West Tennessee and began a 15 month journey through a rigorous school program, which proved to be the greatest experience I could imagine. During this time, I realized even more than before just how much I longed to be a wife one day. It was my dream since I was a little girl. God was working on my heart in more ways that I could express. I prayed many mornings and nights for specific requests and characteristics for my future husband. My doubts of finding my future husband turned to hope. I prayed for God to work on my man’s heart wherever and whoever he was.

Well, on February 1st, 2019, we both met “the one.” Wesley Brewer was my answer to prayer and I was his answer to prayer. We began dating officially on March 2nd, 2019 and we both felt we had known each other our entire lives.

Through getting to know each other and pouring out our hearts, we found that specific prayers were answered very clearly. You see, God was working on Wesley’s heart at the specific time He was working on mine in 2018. Big changes took place in his life and he was praying for me at the same time. We both were reading the Bible and devotional books and writing notes in 2018 and we discovered we were praying and reading the same things on the exact same time frame. We both couldn’t believe how much we were both on the same page with our thoughts, values, and beliefs.

Being friends with his cousins at CCU and with the help of social media, Wesley decided he wanted to pursue me in February 2019. And the rest is history. His love for God and his “gentleman-like” personality captured my heart. It was as if all the puzzle pieces of our lives finally fit together more perfectly than either of us could fathom. We both knew shortly after we started dating that we wanted to get married. Therefore, on September 7, 2019, after 7 months of dating, and much detailed thought, Wesley knelt down on his knee in front of the most beautiful scenery of a cross and the marsh walk in Murrells Inlet, SC and asked me to marry him. He made me the happiest girl in the world that day and his smile said it all. Saying “yes” was the best decision of my life to date and Wesley is equally as excited for us to say “Yes to Forever” on March 2020.

Our goal is to be joined together with God as the center of our relationship and marriage as a cord of three strands: God, Wesley, and myself (Amelia)

Ecclesiastes 4:12 “Though one may be overpowered; two can defend themselves, but a cord of three strands is not quickly broken.”
