Hannah was likewise excited about seeing her husband become a father. “From spontaneous adventures and work projects over the last couple of years, to the sweetest dates and then creating a home together, you are my absolute favorite part of every single day,” she wrote. “God has blessed me beyond what I ever dreamed possible and I can’t wait to see you as a dad!!” Jeremiah and Hannah announced they were courting in October 2021, with Jeremiah proposing to Hannah last January. The two were married just three months later.
