My husband was so shy too. I thought I'd never get his real attention. Turned out he was always interested. The thing was every time he was about 3ft away from me, I declare I felt electricity. Turned out he did too. It freaked him out at first. So when he finally kissed me I was ecstatic. From that moment on we were together. We were both in the Air Force. So after the proposal my enlistment was up but I stayed in Wichita Falls, TX. I also thought he was going to break up with me when he proposed. So three daughters and 31 years of loving my Soul Mate and best friend he passed away. Suddenly. 9 years ago now. I think I will miss him forever. He always left me notes and called just to say he loved me. Last fall when I was having a particularly hard time I found one of his notes in an art magazine. It's framed now. I felt it was his final message to me telling me how much he loved me.
I am so very sorry for your loss but you were so very blessed to have known the love of a wonderful man who is your soul mate (I'm not trying to tell you that, I'm just acknowledging it) I pray you have peace and joy. God bless
@@lellyt2372 Thank you so much. I was and an so very blessed toy have him in my life. He always will be on my life living through our daughters and memories. 💞💞🙏
That's so true! I've watched the Duggars some. The women obey the men and are expected to be submissive at all times. This is so much healthier and loving!
The Duggars are sick. Just because one child abuses doesn't mean it's his problem alone. The whole family is ill. Josh is vile but who did it to him ? Plus all the lying and minimizing. I feel very sorry for the girls of that cult.
Yeup. She said, "Brigham Young." Sadly, Mormons are not "of GOD." Mormonism is a cult, deceiving their members. It's tragic. Blessings to know YAHSHUA/JESUS BEFORE it's too late. 🙋🏼♀️ 💔🙏🏻👣👣💝💖🦋
Derek is the kind of guy I grew up dreaming about. I'm feeling all shy and mushy and blushy and happy hearing your story. Sarah's a keeper too. Rare to find such innocence and pure love nowadays.
I almost didn’t watch this but I am so glad I did. Watching their clips as parents (AWESOME parents) I wondered how they’d met, etc. I TOTALLY admire and love this couple. They show hope for our current generation of young adults and they are an absolutely gorgeous couple❣️ I thank God for them and I wish them many more wonderful, happy years together 🥰
Beautiful, wholesome, and love that is pure and radiates from both of you. Derik treasures Sarah just as much as he does Jack. And when Sarah looks at Derik, you can see how much she loves him. What a blessing you two are. You’re people goals and relationship goals. Thank you for sharing your love story with us. I adore your beautiful little family.
Sarah yes!!! my ex had an ego and was never shy. My bf now is such a sweetheart, it took me awhile to get used to how shy he was to hold my hand or kiss me.. he's still too shy to call me baby. But he feels like the one for me. I've never had this connection with anyone in my life.. he makes me feel so secure and everyone tells me I glow so much now.
I don't think I have ever smiled so much while watching a youtube video, I felt like I was listening to this awesome story from a friend in eighth grade and I mean that in the best, warmest way possible. I don't get that feeling often :)
I Love the Love he has for his family. He is always so excited and sweet about everything. Everything, big or small. He is a man, and her a perfect woman. So refreshing in these days.
“Blessed is the man that finds a wife, finds a good thing, the favor of the Lord.” “What God Unites let no man separate!” Oh may God be always praised and glorified trough you! Your videos are very nice! Blessings from Portugal! One day you should visit here, it’s very beautiful!
The 2 of you meeting and continuing the relationship was definitely a God thing!!! ❤️ You are both wonderful role models for today’s society something I pray for because it is so needed!!! God bless you both!!!
I love how much you love each other and how naturally your relationship developed. I really hope my boys find a love like yours. The love I found was like yours. Glad to know it's not a rarity.
I'm literally cheesing watching this like yall are talking to me personally 🤣🤣 yall have such a bright light inside of both you. It's beautiful to watch ❤
I’ve been watching the UA-cam videos of this adorable young family. The dad is a riot the way he enjoys playing with the baby, he seems more like a naughty big brother. They are so sweet together. Enjoy seeing an energetic happy family 💕
Omg this is AMAZING. I've literally never seen such a wonderful loving couple in todays world. I don't think shy is the right word, I think Derik knew this was so important. He must've been absolutely blown away by Sarah. That's wonderful and not many people experience that intensity. It's TRUE LOVE. U r both such badly needed, great role models for yr generation. God bless you.💑
When LDS missionaries knock on your door, please remember, these are the sweetest, most noble guys who are giving up two years of their lives when other guys their age are partying and going to college. I’m not LDS, but I always open my door and my home to these kids, and I try to have them over for at least one home cooked meal. Be kind, be open, and be honest, if it’s not for you, but, above all, be respectful. ❤️❤️
Missionaries are not allowed to contact their families and some of them are suffering and need help. Ask them if they are ok. Ask if they need your phone or internet. They may be hungry they have very limited money for food and have to rely on church members to feed them. Be aware they are young people and are isolated from their homes.
@@Lelandsgamerworld We are talking about missionaries for The Church Of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, aka Latter Day Saints, aka LDS, aka Mormons.

I JUST FINISHED YOUR 2 VIDEOS OF DEREK'S ACCIDENT...... I MUST SAY IT MADE ME ANXIOUS FOR YOU TWO, BUT AS YOU KNOW OUR FATHER IN HEAVEN, HIS ARM AND HAND IS NOT SHORTENED......THAT WAS SOME STORY, BUT THE INJURY ASIDE, MIRACLES DO AND WILL HAPPEN..... HE DOESN'T ANSWER OUR PRAYERS ON OUR TIME BUT HIS, AND EVEN THOUGH WE WANT IT NOW, HIS WAY IS PERFECT........I SEE HIM IN YOUR LIVES, AND HE'S NOT DONE WITH YOU YET....... ONE THING I DO NOTICE IS THE RESPECT YOU BOTH HAVE FOR EACH OTHER... THAT DOESN'T COME WITHOUT DEEP LOVE AND CARING..... JUST REMEMBER OUR FATHER IN HEAVEN WILL LEAD YOU AS LONG AS YOU FOLLOW.... NOW I'M GOING TO BE SILENT AND WATCH YOUR LOVE STORY.... GOD BLESS....
You guys are absolutely beautiful together and it's definitely gods will to be together and I really think that is so cool ❤️🙏❤️ incredible people, incredible story, incredible family!
I'm sorta in a bitter, stay single forever point in my life. But you guys are so sweet, you make me smile. Plus, knowing what an amazing father Derek is, just makes it so beautiful. I love your family and I'm glad you found each other.
This is so comforting to me because I feel like I’m a lot like derik in the way that I’m pretty scared to put myself out there and talk to people and flirt or whatever. Like I love meeting new people but trying to show that I like someone is so scary haha. So now I have hope that things can still work out for me. Thanks for sharing your story!
My Mother and father met each at the Oregon state fair and she put her lip stick in his glove compartment and that's how they began,they had 9 children me being the last I'm 57 years old today (yes my birthday today)and both my parents have passed and I really appreciate your sharing how you both met 😊 going to watch part 2 now,
Happy Belated birthday. You are my age...I turned 57 on Dec. 28! This is such a sweet family, and your parents story made me smile! I'm the baby of 6 kids.
I’ve been watching you guys for about a week and I’ve subscribed. I’m a woman in my 50s who never met “the one” and there’s something about the 2 of you and your family that touches me and this story made me teary eyed. It made me a little melancholy about not finding my person but so happy for the 2 of you. And the way Derick describes himself, he is me and I am him lol. Shy and a little insecure. Your family is beautiful.
for a shy dude, they are not shy about recounting the entire awkwardness and clumsiness of their encounter. Awesome. I was riveted to all the turn and twist of the story.
God's timing is so amazing, I have looked at this video before and have always wanted to watch it but for some reason I never have. My high school boyfriend of 2.5 years just broke up with me recently and its been really hard and just hearing your story and seeing how amazing you guys are just gave me so much hope for my future and I hope you know that this made a difference in my life at a hard time right now, thank you.
Sierra, God truly is in control. He is either going to bring your boyfriend back (without you having to do a thing) or He is bringing your boyfriend (someone who is somehow even better for you), and God will do this faster than you think. Surround yourself only with things that comfort and give hope to you. Music- nothing sad. Nothing romantic. On You Tube find Michael Sealey. He has videos to help you sleep. They are safe. When I was in this exact situation I read the Bible, especially Psalms and Proverbs. You are already a wife. You are already a wife to a man who adores, loves and treasures you. The Bible says that when a boy/man finds a wife he finds a good thing. I heard an interpretation of that verse. It means that the girl is already the wife, before they meet, or before he realizes how he feels. What you are going through is hard, I know. I know. Plan fun things for yourself, real or imaginary. I planned a trip to Europe- eventually I went. The planning took my mind off of it. I was in college and wrote on my notebooks, RLIICHWBB which stood for Relax, God is in control. He will be back. It turns out, he did try to come back (they ALWAYS do) but I no longer wanted to be with him, because God had sent someone I loved more. When you are happily married, this moment in time will not make you sad. You would not be able to cry if you tried. The feeling of sadness would not be possible to experience, just as a memory. KNOW that you will be happy, loved and married. God has the plan. He can change the heart and the mind of a king (verse from the Bible). So God will take care of you and your heart. I am already saying prayers for you and sending you love and positive energy. I’m a mom now, and my heart goes out to you.
This just made me a fan of this family and I'm not into family channels at all but this couple seems so innocent, genuine and sweet! Not like some fam channels your head of that's just a scam and half fake! Happy New Year to y'all
@@rozsa7828 There is nothing wrong with that.. it's a personal choice, nobody's business *why* really but for the sake of answering your question.. it's a way of staying "pure" for their future spouse and keeping intimacy as a special connection/bond between the person who decided to dedicate their entire life to them. Not everyone wants sloppy seconds and not everyone feels the need to throw it around to every person they date. 🤷♀️
I just came across these 2 and I am in awe. It’s relationships like this, that help us remember that true love is real. These two are soulmates, twin flames, destined to be together. Most of all their story is the true definition of serendipity ❤
This is so making me laugh because I can relate! My husband and I were worse - friends for two years before we held hands and started becoming romantic. We started as friends and became wonderful friends. We were both afraid to take it to a romantic level as we were afraid it would ruin our friendship. We used to laugh later on and talk about how socially inept we were for that time. It worked out wonderful as we had built a solid friendship and then romance entered the relationship. We were together for 26 years but I lost my best friend Nov. 1, 2022. He died suddenly. I am so grateful for what we had, though. I feel very blessed by God to have been able to experience that kind of love in our relationship. No man will ever be like him - his shoes can’t be filled. ❤️🙏
i love how she always listens to him and dosnt presume his answers with her own perception this is a wonderful person well they both are my favorites so real so fun imagine having these two for parents?!
My husband was very shy also. Not a thing wrong with it. We didn't kiss what seemed like I was going to make the 1st move or move on to telling him that I was only 13 and was he afraid? I had only been kissed and hugged by my parents and grandparents. Kind of wanted to know what it was like being kissed by the guy I really liked! Love your story telling experiences ❤
Awwwwww, so cute, this video brought out some of Derek's shyness, where he folds his arms and leans away, but what a great match you both are. So beautiful!!!
Derek reminds me SO MUCH of my son. His style, high-energy, height, build, big smile w/flashy white teeth, humor, haircut/color, the way he talks (even the very way he talks with his hands)body language, and yes, my son is THAT good-looking. He looks JUST like him- facial features, complexion, EVERYTHING. It's SO WEIRD (in a fun way!). Even when it came to awkwardness with girls before he got married.
So, so dear! I’ve been meaning to watch this for the past yr. and finally did! Oh my, so sweet! And to now have grown to love watching your journey from living in Hawaii, leaving Hawaii to come back to Utah, watching Jack growing up and becoming an amazing almost 3 yr. old, Sunny joining your family….such fun to learn how you met and fell for each other!
Okay, it's Auntie Sheila again and I have to say that your story is truly made for a Lifetime Movie, because it's so beautiful and it's something I would love to see on television or big screen! Sweet Derek, you are so good at telling the story that you paint this picture and it's like I'm there which is so awesome! I love a great love story and I wish nothing but the best for your family! God bless you both and your beautiful Jack!
I just found you guys a couple of days ago, and I am already just so loving yall!!! You guys are way too cute and amazing in so many ways!!! So glad I found yall. I have a feeling I will be doing some binging to catch up. Glad you guys found each other, because yall are totally perfect for one another!!! Now look what yall have built together!?! Yay for yall!!! 💖🙏💖🙏💖🙏💖
Ah, you two are so cute. Sarah must have thought Derrick was so weird at first, I was laughing at their story, in a good way. I'm going to watch part 2 now to make me smile more. Love you guys already and I just started watching your videos. Please keep making more. You are my new favorite. ☺💕
God know who we need when we need them. Been with my husband since I was 14 and he was 15. We just celebrated 36 years or marriage. Blessings to you both!
I've only just been getting your posts on my UA-cam and I love watching every one. I was thinking I would love to hear your backstory and lo and behold here it is. Knew there was something special about your relationship, you have God on your side, so you will never fail. Bless you guys.
The handshake reminds me of my high school crush who I hadn’t seen in 33 years. He arrives I stick out my hand and he gives this side look and grabs me in a bear hug. Happily married now . No handshakes for us! Love this story it makes my heart smile.
You never dated anyone till you meant Sarah ,remember on the 5 Q & A such a “sweet story”❤glad you recovered from that traumatic fall,I can’t imagine what you went thru,you meant your beautiful wife at the perfect time 🫶this is the cutest story I’m actually sitting here smiling while I’m listening to you guys tell it,I’m sure I look so 🫣stupid lol the bestest guys are the shy awkward guys .. my guy was/is exactly the same way I love him so so much we are perfect for each other 💃🕺I’m sure he feels the same way & that feels good 🩶buh bye👋great story..it’s perfect the way you both tell it together,when you both get old & grey you can go back to this video & watch it you will both really enjoy how you both can tell it the story of how you meant without interrupting each other instead you both flow together nicely as you take turns speaking,you tell it with such a delightful sense of humor & love the both of you will really remember these days fondly…God bless & thanx for sharing 🤝
I just found your channel a little while ago, and I gotta say, I really love you guys. You’re so authentic and Jack is amazing. Thanks for sharing your life. 💜
Ohhh you two are Mormon… Now it makes sense! Mormons are seriously the nicest people I’ve ever come across. One of my bestfriends and his family are members of the LDS. The light shines through them like it shines through you guys. Pretty sure it’s a prerequisite to join their church that you have to be the nicest and most bubbly people ever.
They're Mormon's. Slightly different. Btw, being "Christian" doesn't automatically make you special 🙄 Planry of great couples out there who are Muslim, Buddhist, Jewish, Atheist, Agnostic etc Plenty of Christians who are AWFUL. Ever heard of the Duggars? 😂
There are few things more endearing to hear than a true love story!! May God continue to bless your family abundantly!! Your children are going to LOVE viewing this one day!!🥰🥰 I hope everyone fortunate to find their love, cherish it!! Because there are those who search a lifetime without finding it. Cherish the love you have🥰
I haven't really smiled or laughed in a while, but while I was watching you guys & listening to your story, I became aware of the smile planted on my face and my own memories !! You guys are lovely, thank you for sharing your story-,💞
Beautiful story... I hope and pray my daughter would find a guy like Derik that would respect her and not want to have sex with her after their first kiss.
As a dad myself, this kid is like the poster child for what I would want for my daughter. He’s good looking, smart, well spoken, polite, extremely loyal, protective, great sense of humor. A dad couldn’t wish for a better choice for his little girl!
I feel like you both aged SO much over the past 9 months. So happy for you guys and I’m praying for a safe and healthy delivery 🥰😍 you’re going to be the best mom ever Sarah
Jennifer Stephens I absolutely don’t think anyone took it as physically aged! I think it was took the way the commenter said it, meaning they’ve “grown” a lot. Age we associate with physical, but it’s obvious every day we age! Normally we use the word “mature” but I think we all knew what aged meant. They are beautiful and that’s also obvious! :)
@@jenniferstephens4191 have you seen the Stella birth blog thumbnail? They have aged they both lool totally different almost unrecognisable to the couple here but agree they are still gorgeous! Aging is nothing to fear we all do it x
”We held hands the whole way down, and it was the greatest thing in my life” Imagine your lifetime love say something like that 🥹♥️ Where there is love, there is hope ♥️
I legit smiled and got all giddy listening to how you met. The fact that he remembered exactly the Simba sweatshirt and you still have it says it all! ❤💕❤ I love listening to the stories that I call BJ (Before Jack who is the happiest little dude by the way all smiles with the biggest blue eyes) and you can see where the love comes from. Happy parents happy Jack. I love watching your family, you're down to earth and amazing people. I love you guys! I have watched all your videos and love seeing the happiness. Love all the stories. May you have many happy tomorrows together ❤️
When this video popped up in my feed I thought I'd watch it for a couple minutes but not the whole 38 minutes. That was a really fast 38 minutes, you guys crack me up and I'm so happy for you both❣🥰

The love I found was like yours. Glad to know it's not a rarity.
It’s a rarity in their age range. The “Man Talk” UA-cam channel is closer to the typical woman these days. Men aren’t much better.
This is the most wholesome and sweet couple. I smiled just listening along almost the whole time.
I'm literally cheesing watching this like yall are talking to me personally 🤣🤣 yall have such a bright light inside of both you. It's beautiful to watch ❤
Same here 😆
I love that you can just see the love they share for each other 🥺
Their story is so innocently beautiful
Congratulations to you both on the birth of Ur daughter, Sunny Marie Beeston. She is the epitomie of beautiful!
Watching this after seeing other videos where Jack is already here was amazing. What wonderful people!
It sounds to me that you were being respectful (shy too)and charming about not pretending to be anything other than yourself, Derik.
I’ve been watching the UA-cam videos of this adorable young family. The dad is a riot the way he enjoys playing with the baby, he seems more like a naughty big brother. They are so sweet together. Enjoy seeing an energetic happy family 💕
Omg this is AMAZING. I've literally never seen such a wonderful loving couple in todays world. I don't think shy is the right word, I think Derik knew this was so important.

I had no idea how shy Derik is. This was such a sweet video. I've been following a while and it was nice to hear the back story.

And the way Derick describes himself, he is me and I am him lol. Shy and a little insecure.
Your family is beautiful.
for a shy dude, they are not shy about recounting the entire awkwardness and clumsiness of their encounter. Awesome. I was riveted to all the turn and twist of the story.
God's timing is so amazing, I have looked at this video before and have always wanted to watch it but for some reason I never have. My high school boyfriend of 2.5 years just broke up with me recently and its been really hard and just hearing your story and seeing how amazing you guys are just gave me so much hope for my future and I hope you know that this made a difference in my life at a hard time right now, thank you.
Sierra, God truly is in control. He is either going to bring your boyfriend back (without you having to do a thing) or He is bringing your boyfriend (someone who is somehow even better for you), and God will do this faster than you think. Surround yourself only with things that comfort and give hope to you. Music- nothing sad. Nothing romantic. On You Tube find Michael Sealey. He has videos to help you sleep. They are safe. When I was in this exact situation I read the Bible, especially Psalms and Proverbs. You are already a wife. You are already a wife to a man who adores, loves and treasures you. The Bible says that when a boy/man finds a wife he finds a good thing. I heard an interpretation of that verse. It means that the girl is already the wife, before they meet, or before he realizes how he feels. What you are going through is hard, I know. I know. Plan fun things for yourself, real or imaginary. I planned a trip to Europe- eventually I went. The planning took my mind off of it. I was in college and wrote on my notebooks, RLIICHWBB which stood for Relax, God is in control. He will be back. It turns out, he did try to come back (they ALWAYS do) but I no longer wanted to be with him, because God had sent someone I loved more. When you are happily married, this moment in time will not make you sad. You would not be able to cry if you tried. The feeling of sadness would not be possible to experience, just as a memory. KNOW that you will be happy, loved and married. God has the plan. He can change the heart and the mind of a king (verse from the Bible). So God will take care of you and your heart. I am already saying prayers for you and sending you love and positive energy. I’m a mom now, and my heart goes out to you.
This just made me a fan of this family and I'm not into family channels at all but this couple seems so innocent, genuine and sweet! Not like some fam channels your head of that's just a scam and half fake! Happy New Year to y'all
What a cute and wholesome couple. Love it!! Also what a gift to give your children to watch when they are older!!
I love hearing your story... you two make me feel a lot of hope for the future.
Derik looked so darn mad when you talked abt your old bf's lol!
Hahaha it’s so funny😂
Yes christians like save themself for marriage why
He's joking of course lol
You are so correct. I said the same thing. Lol.

There is nothing wrong with that.. it's a personal choice, nobody's business *why* really but for the sake of answering your question..
it's a way of staying "pure" for their future spouse and keeping intimacy as a special connection/bond between the person who decided to dedicate their entire life to them.
Not everyone wants sloppy seconds and not everyone feels the need to throw it around to every person they date. 🤷♀️
I just came across these 2 and I am in awe. It’s relationships like this, that help us remember that true love is real. These two are soulmates, twin flames, destined to be together. Most of all their story is the true definition of serendipity ❤
me too!
You guys are simply too cute for words! Nice to know your sweet story and to know it is turning out so well! Love you both!
I have SUCH a crush on this family. Love the videos of Derek trying to hide with the babies.
This is so making me laugh because I can relate! My husband and I were worse - friends for two years before we held hands and started becoming romantic. We started as friends and became wonderful friends. We were both afraid to take it to a romantic level as we were afraid it would ruin our friendship. We used to laugh later on and talk about how socially inept we were for that time. It worked out wonderful as we had built a solid friendship and then romance entered the relationship. We were together for 26 years but I lost my best friend Nov. 1, 2022. He died suddenly. I am so grateful for what we had, though. I feel very blessed by God to have been able to experience that kind of love in our relationship. No man will ever be like him - his shoes can’t be filled. ❤️🙏
i love how she always listens to him and dosnt presume his answers with her own perception this is a wonderful person well they both are my favorites so real so fun imagine having these two for parents?!
My husband was very shy also. Not a thing wrong with it. We didn't kiss what seemed like I was going to make the 1st move or move on to telling him that I was only 13 and was he afraid? I had only been kissed and hugged by my parents and grandparents. Kind of wanted to know what it was like being kissed by the guy I really liked! Love your story telling experiences ❤
Awwwwww, so cute, this video brought out some of Derek's shyness, where he folds his arms and leans away, but what a great match you both are. So beautiful!!!
Derek reminds me SO MUCH of my son. His style, high-energy, height, build, big smile w/flashy white teeth, humor, haircut/color, the way he talks (even the very way he talks with his hands)body language, and yes, my son is THAT good-looking. He looks JUST like him- facial features, complexion, EVERYTHING. It's SO WEIRD (in a fun way!). Even when it came to awkwardness with girls before he got married.
I wish more guys could be like this wonderful man!
I knew you two were pretty special. You actively do Gods work
This was the cutest, most innocent funniest story ever.
So, so dear! I’ve been meaning to watch this for the past yr. and finally did! Oh my, so sweet! And to now have grown to love watching your journey from living in Hawaii, leaving Hawaii to come back to Utah, watching Jack growing up and becoming an amazing almost 3 yr. old, Sunny joining your family….such fun to learn how you met and fell for each other!
Okay, it's Auntie Sheila again and I have to say that your story is truly made for a Lifetime Movie, because it's so beautiful and it's something I would love to see on television or big screen! Sweet Derek, you are so good at telling the story that you paint this picture and it's like I'm there which is so awesome! I love a great love story and I wish nothing but the best for your family! God bless you both and your beautiful Jack!
Derek has such an innocence about him. I like how there is no foul language used on this channel. I was not surprised to find out you are Christians.
Watching this after seeing how amazing of a dad he is to jack is so fun!
Me too!! I Love how he runs to get his son when he wakes up. And what a loving daddy he is! 🤗
I just found you guys a couple of days ago, and I am already just so loving yall!!! You guys are way too cute and amazing in so many ways!!! So glad I found yall. I have a feeling I will be doing some binging to catch up. Glad you guys found each other, because yall are totally perfect for one another!!! Now look what yall have built together!?! Yay for yall!!! 💖🙏💖🙏💖🙏💖
Ah, you two are so cute. Sarah must have thought Derrick was so weird at first, I was laughing at their story, in a good way. I'm going to watch part 2 now to make me smile more. Love you guys already and I just started watching your videos. Please keep making more. You are my new favorite. ☺💕
I was smiling throughout this story! Super wholesome and cute!
You two are just the sweetest… I definitely believe that you were destined for eachother. Such an adorable love story. 🥰❤️🫶
God know who we need when we need them. Been with my husband since I was 14 and he was 15. We just celebrated 36 years or marriage. Blessings to you both!
You guys make me smile, what an adorable family!
I've only just been getting your posts on my UA-cam and I love watching every one.
I was thinking I would love to hear your backstory and lo and behold here it is.
Knew there was something special about your relationship, you have God on your side, so you will never fail.
Bless you guys.
The handshake reminds me of my high school crush who I hadn’t seen in 33 years. He arrives I stick out my hand and he gives this side look and grabs me in a bear hug. Happily married now . No handshakes for us! Love this story it makes my heart smile.
This is so cute 😍
You never dated anyone till you meant Sarah ,remember on the 5 Q & A such a “sweet story”❤glad you recovered from that traumatic fall,I can’t imagine what you went thru,you meant your beautiful wife at the perfect time 🫶this is the cutest story I’m actually sitting here smiling while I’m listening to you guys tell it,I’m sure I look so 🫣stupid lol the bestest guys are the shy awkward guys .. my guy was/is exactly the same way I love him so so much we are perfect for each other 💃🕺I’m sure he feels the same way & that feels good 🩶buh bye👋great story..it’s perfect the way you both tell it together,when you both get old & grey you can go back to this video & watch it you will both really enjoy how you both can tell it the story of how you meant without interrupting each other instead you both flow together nicely as you take turns speaking,you tell it with such a delightful sense of humor & love the both of you will really remember these days fondly…God bless & thanx for sharing 🤝
God made it possible for you two to meet. This was Fate❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
he so understands women.... !natural empathy, fantastic leading man
I just found your channel a little while ago, and I gotta say, I really love you guys. You’re so authentic and Jack is amazing.
Thanks for sharing your life. 💜
Ohhh you two are Mormon… Now it makes sense! Mormons are seriously the nicest people I’ve ever come across. One of my bestfriends and his family are members of the LDS. The light shines through them like it shines through you guys.
Pretty sure it’s a prerequisite to join their church that you have to be the nicest and most bubbly people ever.
In the field of nursing for 19 yrs, have met literally thousands of ppl & have to agree with you on this one.
I don't think they are Mormons I think he is born again christian
@@rozsa7828
Whatever they are... it works for them. 😊
@@rozsa7828 they are Mormons, his brother also went on a mission but he was called to serve in Cali. Their families live in utah, Mormon territory.
@@rozsa7828 what makes u say he is born again Christian
Tanner and Derik are both awesome. I adore how shy they used to be! It’s seriously so sweet and makes me realize what I want in a man
You four are a Ray of Sunshine in my life! Congratulations on Sunny's birth! Luv Jack! Thank you for sharing your story! Happy New Year!⛄
I'm so happy to hear you're Christians, I knew there was something special about your family.
Predestined...They are blessed!❤🙏
They're Mormon's. Slightly different.
Btw, being "Christian" doesn't automatically make you special 🙄 Planry of great couples out there who are Muslim, Buddhist, Jewish, Atheist, Agnostic etc
Plenty of Christians who are AWFUL. Ever heard of the Duggars? 😂
What's special about being a Christian? The disrespect smh
There are few things more endearing to hear than a true love story!!
May God continue to bless your family abundantly!! Your children are going to LOVE viewing this one day!!🥰🥰
I hope everyone fortunate to find their love, cherish it!! Because there are those who search a lifetime without finding it.
Cherish the love you have🥰
You both are so beautiful, smiley, and joyful! Extremely precious to see such a blessed couple.
I haven't really smiled or laughed in a while, but while I was watching you guys & listening to your story, I became aware of the smile planted on my face and my own memories !! You guys are lovely, thank you for sharing your story-,💞
Beautiful story... I hope and pray my daughter would find a guy like Derik that would respect her and not want to have sex with her after their first kiss.
As a dad myself, this kid is like the poster child for what I would want for my daughter. He’s good looking, smart, well spoken, polite, extremely loyal, protective, great sense of humor. A dad couldn’t wish for a better choice for his little girl!
@@galenmarek8287 I totally agree 😊
That was cute she used the old purse trick😂🤣
Join mormonism… they can’t go to the highest heaven if they do… so they have incentive to be good.
@@yonta123 they're Mormon? Didn't realize that yet.
Omg how adorable! He was so uncomfortable when you were talking about how shy he was. So sweet ❤️
I feel like you both aged SO much over the past 9 months. So happy for you guys and I’m praying for a safe and healthy delivery 🥰😍 you’re going to be the best mom ever Sarah
Awee you are seriously SO sweet! Thank you!!
Faith Thomas, I think you meant they both GREW so much. "Aged?" As in, they look tired and beaten down?
Jennifer Stephens I absolutely don’t think anyone took it as physically aged! I think it was took the way the commenter said it, meaning they’ve “grown” a lot. Age we associate with physical, but it’s obvious every day we age! Normally we use the word “mature” but I think we all knew what aged meant. They are beautiful and that’s also obvious! :)
@@jenniferstephens4191 have you seen the Stella birth blog thumbnail? They have aged they both lool totally different almost unrecognisable to the couple here but agree they are still gorgeous! Aging is nothing to fear we all do it x
”We held hands the whole way down, and it was the greatest thing in my life”
Imagine your lifetime love say something like that 🥹♥️
Where there is love, there is hope ♥️
I legit smiled and got all giddy listening to how you met. The fact that he remembered exactly the Simba sweatshirt and you still have it says it all! ❤💕❤ I love listening to the stories that I call BJ (Before Jack who is the happiest little dude by the way all smiles with the biggest blue eyes) and you can see where the love comes from. Happy parents happy Jack. I love watching your family, you're down to earth and amazing people. I love you guys! I have watched all your videos and love seeing the happiness. Love all the stories. May you have many happy tomorrows together ❤️
You guys bring a smile to my face. Just adorable.
MAAAANNNNNN Y'ALL ARE TOOOO CUTE!! You two have me out here wishing on a love like yours, it's ADOOORRAAABBLLLEEE!!!
i loved everything about this video!! 😂❤
So perfectly precious. Just right. Can't stand the other kind. They aren't sincere. You got the one in a million ! Good, fun, and will stick.
Found this channel a few days ago, you two always make me smile ❤
When this video popped up in my feed I thought I'd watch it for a couple minutes but not the whole 38 minutes. That was a really fast 38 minutes, you guys crack me up and I'm so happy for you both❣🥰
My Goodness I was holding my breath waiting for that kiss. Almost passed out from lack of 02
what a sweet guy, more should be like him. getting to know someone is the true meaning.
Yooooooooo as you both told this story I was glued to my screen like this was an actual movie!! I love yall.
I met my shy guy 18 years ago...been married 15 years...more in love and happy now than ever:) God Bless you two! What a great story!
Love just always happens when you least expect it, doesn't it?
I'm watching your love story again!!!! My heart is breaking how beautiful you both are!!!
You’re both so sweet and kind. You are perfect for each other. An absolute beautiful couple. I’m loving these videos.
