It was during the summer that she spontaneously made plans to spend twelve days in Spain visiting friends at a discipleship school she had previously attended. The summer that changed everything… in the most wonderful and glorious way possible. It was upon Becky’s arrival to Spain and days into the trip that she found herself meeting and getting to know the friendly, kind-hearted man known as Brett McConnell. Both oblivious to what was happening in their hearts, they found themselves constantly drawn to the other throughout the week, sharing sweet and deep conversations and talking for hours on end. With just three days left before Becky was set to leave, Brett, who called New Mexico home, knew he had to act fast before this captivating woman slipped from his grasp in the form of a flight to her home in Pennsylvania. That very day he shared with her his desire to pursue a relationship with her.

The following day, they roamed a small town of Southern Spain for their first date, walking the cobblestone streets and exploring everything this charming town offered. After a day of adventure, they sat side by side, taking in a magnificent sunset together overlooking the Mediterranean Sea. As if this wasn’t enough of a fairytale beginning to their love story, they eventually heard stomping and realized there was flamenco dancers in the evening streets nearby. Later, as they continued to walk through the town, they came to another overlook where they could see the city lights twinkling below and a fireworks show going off in the distance. “So lost in each other, so smitten, and so overwhelmed by the goodness of the Lord” is the only way they could begin to find words to describe that magical evening.

Upon their return home, they continued their relationship state-side, making it work despite their cross-country distance. After multiple visits to see one another, they quickly knew where this was going as everything clicked and fell into place. While surely not your traditional love story, Brett + Becky wouldn’t have it any other way and are planning a wedding for later this month!
