About Us & Our Wedding

About Us and How We Met!!!


ABOUT KRESTA

Kresta is a 21 year old graduate student in speech-language pathology at the University of Kentucky. She has lived in Kentucky her whole life, but she moved from Russellville, KY to Henderson, KY when she was in fourth grade. Kresta has grown up being involved in church and has continued her involvement throughout college in the Baptist Student Union at U.K. and through local churches. You could say that She's a down-home Kentucky girl!

ABOUT JOSH

Josh is a 21 year old senior, social work major at the University of Kentucky. He will graduate in December and has plans to attend seminary at some point. His dad is a minister, so he has lived lots of places, but all have been in central or northern Kentucky. Josh also grew up involved in the church and has been a leader in the Baptist Student Union for most of his college career.

HOW WE MET!!!

Josh and I met at the Baptist Student Union (BSU) at U.K. as freshmen. We were involved in the drama team, something he had always done and something I had never done. You could say that it was God's divine appointment for us to meet! From there we just became the best of friends until we realized that we had deeper, more romantic feelings for each other. It's been great ever since!

When and How We Got Engaged!!!


WHEN WE GOT ENGAGED!?!

September 03, 2002


HOW IT HAPPENED!?!


Well, it was my 21st birthday and Josh took me to a really nice place to eat. We then got ice cream, which I hardly ate because I was so full, and he took me downtown in Lexington to the park. We sat by the fountain and he gave me a book that he had my family and friends write letters to me in. On the last page of the book, it said "Kresta, I love you, will you marry me? Circle yes or no." I fumbled to find the pen and frantically circled "yes". He then told me he was going to give me one of his rings. So I thought I wasn't getting an engagement ring. Then he said for me to close my eyes and when I opened them, he had placed a beautiful diamond ring on my finger. Of course, I cried a lot and I sat there stunned for most of the night. Later, my friends had a surprise party for me, which I had never had! It was a great birthday needless to say!
