C.J. and Lexi Cesario are what you might call, #Goals. The couple, who got married in July 2016, have completely won the Internet with their incredible love story—told by their wedding video.
In September of 2013, C.J. made the most important decision he could ever make, and he gave his life to Jesus Christ.
“Along the journey we all go through of wanting and hoping for the right one, God transformed my heart,” C.J. says in his vows to Lexi.
Taking new steps on his faith journey, that fall, God blessed him with exactly WHO he’d been waiting for—a radiant, blonde-haired, blue-eyed girl—Lexi.
“As scripture tells us, it’s really not about waiting for the right one, it’s about being the right one.”
C.J.’s realization of what love is, and his foundation of Jesus’ love for each of us, is paramount to the love that he and Lexi Elisha share.
“One truth I’ve come to know is that experiencing love and understanding love are two different entities.”

His reaction to Lexi Elisha (at 4:43), is something that you could literally watch all day long. You can see the joy of the Lord in the both of them, overflowing from the inside out.
C.J.’s testimony and reaction to Lexi Elisha on their wedding day was only the start of what makes this marriage and video completely stunning. After exchanging the most beautiful vows, and slipping rings onto their fingers, the bride and groom were surrounded by their loved ones in an intimate and glorious time of worship and prayer.
The world is full of beautiful people and beautiful love stories, but the greatest ones are those that start with God. We don’t know what would have happened had C.J. not given his life to Christ that day, but we do know that the Lord is alive in both of these beautiful souls. Their marriage is a reflection of His unconditional and unbelievable love.
