WE'RE GETTING MARRIED

It all began sophomore year at Dallas Baptist University, when Koben spotted Amari from across the room at a basketball game and knew he had to get to know her. He reached out, a friendship began, and somewhere between conversations, shared memories, and getting to know one another, that friendship turned into something neither of them quite expected. At just twenty years old, they began navigating life together - from long distance and major life changes to growing up and everything in between. Through every season, their faith has remained at the center, becoming the foundation that has kept them grounded and growing together. Five years later, Koben took Amari to one of their favorite spots, Collective Coffee in Downtown McKinney. What seemed like an ordinary coffee date quickly became anything but. Amari walked into an empty room filled with candles and flowers, with her favorite music playing in the background. Koben got down on one knee, asked her to spend forever with him, and through plenty of happy tears, she said yes. The final surprise was waiting just around the corner: their closest family and friends, ready to celebrate with them. From a basketball game at twenty to choosing forever five years later, their story has been filled with friendship, growth, countless memories, and a faith that has remained at the heart of it all. And the best is still to come.
