Megan & Brad | The Leclaire Room Wedding

**Megan and Brad’s Love Story**

Megan and Brad’s journey to finding each other was one of patience, faith and providence. As two long-term single Christians, their paths crossed in the most unexpected of places: the front door of the sanctuary at their church. From the moment they met, a spark ignited between them, leading to weekly conversations that grew longer and more meaningful. It was a beautiful irony considering their introverted natures. In each other, they found not just a companion but a kindred spirit, realizing that their years of waiting were meant to lead them to this perfect union with Christ as the center of it all.

Brad chose the Missouri Botanical Garden as the setting for his proposal, a place that held special significance in their relationship. It was in front of the Tower Grove House, on a simple bench, that Brad first realized his love for Megan. Going back to the place where he realized the depth of his feelings for Megan, he presented her with a silver-wrapped package, got down on one knee and asked Megan to be his wife.

To Megan, Brad is nothing short of extraordinary. She sees in him a wonderful, caring, smart, witty and kind soul. His presence brings warmth and comfort to her life. On the other hand, Brad views Megan as the epitome of grace and compassion. She is loving, selfless, kind-hearted, sweet, honest and intelligent. Her genuine care for others and her empathetic nature make her the best person he knows. Together, they complement each other in the most beautiful ways, each bringing out the best in the other.

Their wedding day was a testament to their love and commitment. On a beautiful, sunny afternoon in Edwardsville, they exchanged vows at The Leclaire Room. It was a day filled with joy, love and the sweet celebration of their union. Surrounded by family and friends, Megan and Brad exchanged vows and committed their lives to one another. They are grateful for the journey that brought them together and are excited for the future they will build together.

Megan and Brad’s love story is a reminder that true love is worth the wait and that sometimes, the best things in life come when we least expect them. Their story is an inspiration to many, a beautiful example of faith, patience and the divine timing of our Gracious God.
