If you are reading this, then God willing, by now I have officially married my buddy Isaac and his wife, Erin. First off, congratulations to both of you. They got married 5/29/26.

You are two incredible people, and I truly wish you a lifetime full of happiness, love, and a marriage centered around God.

I also hope I did not completely mess up the ceremony.

Just kidding … mostly.

But honestly, when they asked me to officiate their wedding, I immediately said yes because I truly felt God calling me to do it.

Right after that, though, came the immediate panic of, “Oh my gosh … what did I just commit to?”

It took me a couple of weeks to really sit down and start writing everything out. Honestly, I did not even know where to begin.

Then one morning while I was praying and journaling, a verse hit me right in the face: “Whoever can be trusted with very little can also be trusted with much.” — Luke 16:10

And from that moment on, everything started coming together.

It made me realize that Isaac and I had spent years building trust through all the little things that come with friendship:

Showing up for each other.
 Supporting each other.
 Growing together.
 Doing life side by side.

At one point, Isaac told me he looked up to me as a man, as a father, and as a follower of Christ.

Honestly … wow, man. That meant more to me than he probably realizes.

And in that moment, I understood the verse even more.

Somehow, through all the little moments over the years, Isaac trusted me with something much bigger—standing beside him and marrying him to the love of his life. That is something I will never take lightly.

But honestly, I think that verse applies to marriage just as much as it applies to friendship. Because in marriage, the little things are what hold the big thing together:

It is showing up when you say you will.
 Listening even when you are tired.
 Supporting each other on the hard days, not just the easy ones.
 Being patient when the other person is struggling.
 Checking in even when life gets busy.
 Choosing each other over and over again in the middle of everything else life throws at you.

Those little moments may not seem huge at the time, but over the years they build something strong. Because when you are faithful in the little things, you can be trusted with much:

Trusted with each other’s hearts.
 Trusted with each other’s dreams.
 Trusted through the hard days and the good ones.
 Trusted to build a home together.
 Trusted to raise a family together.
 Trusted to grow together instead of apart.

And honestly, I think that is one of the most beautiful things about marriage.

Not two perfect people. Just two people choosing each other every single day.

Marriage is not built in one big moment. It is built in a thousand little ones. So keep showing up for each other, keep choosing each other, and keep putting God at the center of it all.

This article is dedicated to the Porters. You are two incredible people whom Lauren, Beau, and I are lucky to have in our lives. You both truly put others first and are always there at the drop of a hat. Thank you again for letting me officiate your special day. It is something I will never forget.

“Two are better than one, because they have a good return for their labor: If either of them falls down, one can help the other up.” — Ecclesiastes 4:9-10
