Tara and Kevin’s love story is one that feels as though it was orchestrated by fate and faith. It began in a church group for young professionals, where their paths first crossed. Although they had always admired each other from afar, both were hesitant to make the first move. Kevin, having been through past emotional hardships, was careful with his heart. But love has a way of revealing itself, especially when it’s meant to be.

Their connection grew stronger when Tara joined the worship team, bringing them into each other’s orbit even more. It wasn’t until a close friend, who had a prophetic dream of them together, encouraged Kevin to think about Tara as more than just a friend. Hesitant but hopeful, Kevin decided to let things unfold naturally, trusting that if it was God’s plan, it would happen.

And it did.

The two began texting, and a casual exchange about a phone ringtone soon turned into weeks of deep conversations. They realized how much they had in common and how comfortable they felt in each other’s presence. Their first date was at an event in Bell Tower, a simple outing where Tara brought her dog. But from that day, everything between them felt destined.

Kevin’s love for Tara is evident in the way he speaks about her. He adores her blue eyes, her striking red hair, and, with a playful grin, admits he loves her butt too. But beyond her looks, it’s her emotional intelligence, her genuine heart, and her incredible communication skills that make Kevin feel truly blessed. “I prayed for years for someone with her kind of emotional intelligence,” he shares.

For Tara, the feeling is mutual. She fell for his kind eyes, his radiant smile, and—of course—his charming personality. His kindness, godly heart, and intelligence are what truly won her over. “I’m a sucker for nerds,” she laughs, reflecting on how much she appreciates his depth and sense of humor.

Their proposal is the stuff of fairy tales—complete with a sunflower field and a divine twist of fate. Kevin had initially planned to propose by the water, as sunflowers weren’t in season. But just days before the proposal, he stumbled across a perfect sunflower field, as though God had guided him there. On Tara’s birthday, he took her to that field, asked her to close her eyes, and when she opened them, she was standing in front of a sea of sunflowers. It was there, surrounded by their favorite flower, that Kevin got down on one knee and asked her to be his wife.

Since then, their relationship has only deepened. Both are music lovers, and worshiping together on the church’s worship team holds special significance for them. Kevin plays drums while Tara sings, and those moments of shared worship strengthen their bond.

Their perfect date night is simple—cuddling on the couch, watching a movie, and enjoying the sound of rain outside. It’s in these quiet moments, together and at peace, that their love flourishes.

Tara and Kevin’s love story is one of faith, music, laughter, and the little things that make life beautiful. Whether it’s sharing their favorite shows, like Avatar: The Last Airbender (not the blue guys!), or laughing at a well-timed pun, their relationship is filled with joy and deep connection.

Their love is a testament to the power of patience, faith, and trusting in God’s plan. It’s a love that’s beautifully unfolding—one sunflower at a time.
