C
hrist United Methodist Church is an integral part of Tiffani
and Joshua Myrick’s relationship. They met, got engaged,
and married at the church, all thanks to both of their mothers.
“Our mothers had actually talked about how great Joshua
and I would be together, and they really thought we would hit it
off,” Tiffani explains. “We both thought that was just the moms
talking, but essentially it did work.”
The couple officially met in March of 2015. Both were in
College Station visiting family and saw each other after church.
When Tiffani got back to Dallas that afternoon, she had a message
from Joshua. They dated long distance – he was in graduate school
and she was in Dallas – but they made it work.
Fast-forward to July 2016. Joshua had just gotten a job in
Dallas. The couple finally lived in the same city, and to Tiffani’s
surprise, Joshua proposed on July 16, 2016, during a visit to
College Station.
“His dad was supposed to preach the next morning and
couldn’t find his bible,” Tiffani says. “Joshua and I agreed to go
up to the church to see if he had left it there.” While Joshua and
Tiffani searched the pews for Mr. Myrick’s missing bible, Tiffani
stumbled across two childhood bibles of her own. Confused,
Tiffani thought maybe her mom had donated the bibles to the
church, but after further inspection, she found a note written on
cardboard. Next thing she knew, Joshua was on one knee. “It was
really special since that was really a part of our relationship,
since we had met there at Christ United Methodist.”
