When Melessa Angus stood up during the ladies’ evening service at church and shared her testimony, it not only opened Nathan Thompson’s eyes to her journey but also warmed his heart. Nathan introduced himself and exchanged numbers with Melessa soon after. Their connection quickly blossomed into an unexpected romance, and the two later walked down the aisle nearly three and a half years later.

For a while, Melessa had been praying for the right life partner. She wanted the Lord to do the choosing, rather than picking on her own.

“I asked God to show me a sign and let me know when he has arrived. The moment I met Nathan, I knew he was the one. I felt a spark, and it felt like God was saying that this was my husband,” Melessa told Island Wedding.
