Our Love Story
Henry and Lisa met in August of 2011, when Lisa began courses at New College Franklin. He's a violist and she plays violin, so they spent Sunday morning rehearsals with the music team at Parish Presbyterian Church. Through the weeks, they often saw one other around town.
In the summer of 2013, Lisa returned to the Midwest--but not before Henry charmed Dad Moyer into allowing a dinner date.
They kept up across the states by writing old-fashioned letters. Through the months, they got to know one another more deeply as they sought God's will for marriage.
One weekend, Lisa was visiting Henry in Tennessee. After dinner, he casually suggested a quick moonlight stroll in downtown Franklin. So they parked and walked the gently-lit streets, stopping outside the Main Street Starbucks, where they enjoyed many conversations over the past year. He pulled out a ring, and she said yes.
