What happens when God writes the love story? Four days before saying “I do,” Google employees Adam McFarland and Amari Guisinger sat down on the yellow couch to share how a divine collision turned casual workplace run-ins into a full-blown fairytale. Adam, the son of a preacher, never expected that the woman he brushed shoulders with at work would soon become his answered prayer. But behind Amari’s bright smile was a heavy heart — a family health crisis that nearly stopped her from giving the cowboy a chance.
