Our story began in 2017, when we first met at a church event. Little did we know, we would be attending college together! Despite our initial meeting, we didn’t keep in touch until fate brought us together again the night before school started. Living in the same apartment complex, sharing the same friend group, and constantly being around each-other, allowed our friendship to grow into something deeper. In 2018, we had our first date at the iconic Bucca di Beppo. Angela never mentioned her dislike for Italian food, so we spent the next 3-4 hours enjoying each other’s company, savoring the moment even though the food wasn’t quite her favorite. Then, on September 14, 2024, Lance asked the big question with a stunning view of Adriatica Village. The night before and the morning of, Lance was calm and collected. Everything had been perfectly planned—his speech rehearsed to perfection. But the moment he saw Angela walking down the trail, everything changed. The memories of the past six years rushed through his mind, and he marveled at how blessed he was to have Angela by his side. Through every high and low, one thing had remained constant: the faithfulness of God. As Angela made her way toward him, Lance was speechless. He kept repeating the same words over and over, hoping Angela would catch on—and she did. Angela tried hard not to laugh, knowing the moment was being captured on camera. Then, in a moment of pure joy and excitement, Lance dropped to one knee and asked the life-changing question. With pure excitement, Joy, and amazement of the big rock, Angela said YES! We celebrated this unforgettable moment surrounded by our family and closest friends. It was an intimate celebration for us both, because we wouldn't be where we are today without their love and support.
