Rebecca and Her Husband, Bryan, Married in 2007
Rebecca and Bryan tied the knot in 2007 in an intimate wedding ceremony. When the couple first married, she panicked, thinking that she made a mistake. Her husband somehow comforted her in her panic situation, and she felt that was a hopeful sign.
Since then, the duo has been together for over a decade now. Bryan is an engineering nerd from Oklahoma, United States. But the couple met in England; therefore, could it be he was there to study?
Before marriage, she had decided to leave her homeland because Bryan didn’t want to live in England. But the complication was the Church of England was paying for her education. Rebecca and her partner also had a discussion about it in advance before engagement.
Even though she was very committed to gospel witness there, she had to move on with her husband. Once she landed in the United States and started to live there, she worked at The Veritas Forum ministry.

Attended the Same Church
Well, Rebecca sort of met her husband on St. Patrick’s Day, but the duo vaguely knew each other from church. The writer knew him as the loud American, and he knew her as the girl who wore knee-high boots every day and could improvise answers in group Bible study.
The pair lived in Cambridge, UK, at that time. When she had gone with her two friends to an exchange dinner at his college, she saw him and said, “I know that guy from church, we can sit with him.”
Then, Bryan asked them where he could get tickets to the May Ball at her college. In response, she asked if he could dance, to which he answered, “Yes,” and she invited him to come with her.
Since they were attending an all-night party jointly, they decided on knowing about one another. However, they weren’t remotely dating. In fact, they spent very little time together, as she was pretty sure they weren’t a fit.
But over time, his character won her over. Rebecca and Bryan started dating just before she went to a seminary. Their few mutual friends were surprised at first. And then, after two years into seminary, she finally married him.

Well, Rebecca has revealed that delivering a baby was hard for her, despite every help and convenience from the nurse to the doctor and the soothing drug that seeped into her veins to numb the pain.
Nevertheless, her husband has been by her side. She has now welcomed three beautiful offspring and is enjoying herself with them.
