Choose Love: Extraordinary Love Stories

The Single Millennial

We believe in the magic of love and all of its shapes, colors, and sizes. You can call us hopeless romantics, but we like to think of ourselves as revolutionaries. Each week we look at the big, universal idea of love and zoom in on the rich details of love stories. We listen for the moments that stir something in us — the moments that transform us. We dig into life’s big questions about love because they enable us to better understand ourselves and the world around us. Our hope is that these stories inspire you to #chooselove in your own life and join the revolution!

Choose Love: Extraordinary Love Stories

play

12/09/19 • 42 min

What happens stays in Vegas, right? Unless it involves falling in love. The two met when Andy, on a typical Vegas boys trip with his friends, spotted Sarah from across the room at The Red Square Bar. Andy's wingman was immediately on the job, chatting up Sarah's parents, who she was on day trip with. This is the story of how a quick 15-minute chat with a stranger in Vegas gave birth to 16 years of love and two beautiful sons. Through the chaos of life, Sarah and Andy have learned that it's important to always remember the simple things. When all else fails, food and wine always allow these two to reconnect and keep learning about one another.

Kristin + Brett | A Lucky Bumble Love Story

Choose Love: Extraordinary Love Stories

play

11/11/19 • 32 min

Brett and Kristin's love story is a compilation of magical moments. The two have learned to appreciate the small moments as they've learned how to navigate a relationship with two people at different places in life when it comes to faith and career. When they met, Brett was the band director at a high school in northern Indiana who was renewing his commitment to his faith, while Kristin was in search of someone with a faith as strong as hers as she was finishing up her education degree. They have the Bumble online dating app and an unscheduled duet of Lucky by Colbie Caillat and Jason Mraz to thank for bringing these two together. And although they are currently long distance, they've found home in each other.
The story was narrated by Stephen.

Ayanna + Ron | A Mystical Twin Flame Love Story

Choose Love: Extraordinary Love Stories

play

10/07/19 • 20 min

It all began with a past-life regression to uncover truths of Ayanna's soul story. It was then she learned that after many years of intentional singleness, her soul mate was still on planet earth. Their first meeting was just three weeks after the regression session. At face value, the two appeared to be polar opposites, but the more they connected the more they realized how much they had in common. They began to uncover a slew of synchronicities and it started to feel like their souls had been in search for one another their entire lives. Their time together, though only 26 months, was a profound love experience that was nothing short of magical. Their gifts elevated one another and their connection became stronger than ever. And even after Ron passed away their souls were still connected as they continued to communicate with one another beyond the physical realm. This beautiful love story will soon be available in book and film format. Keep an eye out for "Twin Flames Beyond the Veil: A True Mystic Love Story." This story was curated by Ekanem.

Jamie + Jesse | All Roads Lead to Alameda

Choose Love: Extraordinary Love Stories

play

11/25/19 • 14 min

The paths of Jamie and Jesse had crossed many times before they had ever officially met. The two finally met while working at a haunted house in Las Vegas, Nevada and immediately bonded over their shared hometown of Alameda, California. Before long, they had come to learn that as children they lived just a couple blocks away from each other. Jamie can recall being woken up by chickens in the early morning, which, just happened to be owned by Jesse's grandmothers. Come to find out, they actually went to the same elementary school. After browsing through Jamie's copy of their elementary school yearbook, Jesse discovered that his 5th grade photo was circled in the book. To both of their surprise, Jamie couldn't recall why she would've done that decades prior. The two couldn't help but wonder if their love was written in the stars or if this was just a series of coincidences. I won't spoil it for you, check out the episode to learn more!
The couple was interviewed by Ekanem.

Elise + Ben | A Buzzworthy Love Story

Choose Love: Extraordinary Love Stories

play

09/06/19 • 32 min

Elise and Ben first met at work and became fast friends. Both were in a relationship at the time, but soon after they both became single. While focusing on healing from their recent breakups, they remained friends and helped each other through it. They began tackling their bucketlist items together. The more they learned about each other, the more they fell in love. One special night at a state fair while they were having their caricatures drawn, Elise whispered to the artist asking if he could write "it's official" on the drawing. And the rest is history. They are big believers in slowing down and appreciating the small things – baking pies, raising bees, spontaneous road trips. And together they continue to support one another as they journey through the new terrains of their relationship. Elise most recently started a freelancing photography business.
