What happens when two people from completely different cultures meet at Bible college, awkwardly cross paths over a “lost” Bible, and then end up married just 11 days after getting engaged? You’re about to find out.
In this episode, Ricardo and Christian share the full story how they met, their wildly unexpected engagement timeline, what their surprise wedding looked like (yes, in a gazebo with strangers humming Here Comes the Bride), and the early days of cross-cultural marriage.
If you’ve ever wondered what it takes to build a marriage across cultural lines or if you’re just curious how someone ends up married less than two weeks after saying “yes” this episode is full of laughter, honesty, and 20 years’ worth of wisdom.
