Okay so Jacob, you're going to completely close your eyes and I'm going to lead you out this way. Okay. Okay, because she's literally right outside the door. Okay. Are you ready? I'm, yes. Okay, you're good. Come forward, just a little step down. One more little step down. Turn this way. There you go. Can I reach back? Oh my gosh. How are you? I'm good. How are you? Better now. How you feeling? Good, I'm excited. Can you believe it? No . We prayed so long. It's finally here. Micah, Jacob, you guys made it. You're here. The day has arrived. Seven years of dating, growing closer to each other, and Jesus along the way. Today, you're surrounded
by your friends and family, watching you two become one. It's the day you've look forward to. Love is on display today. And it's a love that points to our savior, Jesus Christ. I remember the first time you guys were talking about each other and it was just such a blessing
to see you guys so happy. I can't see stuff about your marriage without my heart just
leaping out of my chest for you both. You've waited for this day for so long. These people are some
of the most beautiful people I've ever met in my life. You've changed my life because of how kind you are, because of how you pursue other people. Micah, you're such a
blessing in Jacob's life. I've only known you two together, and I see you guys grow every day. You both have continuously kept Christ in the center of your relationship and ran towards Him together, holding hands. You truly are a match made in heaven. You guys have been together
for a long, long time. Tomorrow, three strands become one, and we love you guys. There is no one on
Earth that I would trust with Micah's heart, more than you Jacob. I can't wait to watch
you guys on this journey because what you've done
thus far is incredible. They encourage everyone
to love each other, and to truly love God. I've always looked up to
you Micah, in every way. I pray that you know how loved you are. I don't know how to say Jacob without following it up with Micah. You guys are meant to be together. It's been over seven years
since we started dating. So it's just, its just wild, it's so cool. Micah and I met our eighth
grade year of junior high. We were in the same youth group together. It was just really
cool, really sweet time. He played guitar, I sang- Who texted first? I texted Jacob first. She came, sat down next to me, and we started talking. Instantly hit it off. And Micah goes, "Hey, so I hear it you're
in the worship team too. "You think I could like,
we should exchange numbers "so that we can talk
about worship, right?" I was like, hey, I really, you know I need to update you
on the worship slides. Like, could I get your number? I know right? I said, "Oh yeah, totally. "I was actually about to do that." And if you ask him, he'll be like, "Oh, I was going to ask." And I was like, oh,
whatever I did it first. Junior high drama,
through the worship band, through everything you
have been right beside him. There's a pillow in his room that I think Micah made for him that is a collage of all the different pictures you can see like, pre-puberty and then puberty. We got to see you guys grow. Not only grow with each
other, but with God. And it's just been a true
blessing watching you guys grow together. ♪ When the silence is too much to bear ♪ ♪ When it seems you've disappeared ♪ My sweet best friend, how cool is this? You have no idea the impact

me the little simple truths that I would forget, for always pointing me back to the cross. Thank you for loving me despite my flaws and imperfections, for
seeing my heart and who I am. Thank you for dealing
with my sports fandoms and always laughing at my
pickup line and corny jokes, even if I'm the only one laughing. I knew from the instant that Jacob told me that he was going to propose,
this day was going to be the most God honoring day. And it didn't matter what it looked like, and it didn't matter what was said, but it would be God honoring because we had two people that
loved God and loved others. ♪ Heaven's flame strengthens me ♪ Micah you are lovely in every way. You're so genuine. You found a man that knows

moves back in middle school. I promise to always push you to the cross, to keep running to Jesus together, to pray with you and for you. I promise to be your forever coffee date, adventure buddy, and road trip partner. I promise to pursue you, fight
