we're getting married!

Appiah and Isaac are both Project Managers in the International Development and Construction sectors respectively. As fate would have it, work brought them both to a small cocoa farming village in the Western Region of Ghana in 2017. At first, the pair barely spoke to one another, equally focused on the task at hand, building a community library. However, the couple suddenly grew close after some months absence from one another and discovering that the only spot with strong enough internet connection for a productive work day was at the top of the hill. As a friendship started to form over the exchange of stories on their faith, families and upbringing, Appiah quickly developed what could only be characterized as a school girl crush. One day Ike invited Appiah to his BBQ. Being a gal from Texas, Appiah couldn't refuse! Though there were several other colleagues in attendance, Ike and Appiah kept being drawn to one another. They ended up talking late into the night until...it began to rain. Ike escorted Appiah home and like a fairytale, the two shared their first kiss under the village stars. According to Appiah, it was from that moment she knew Ike would be her husband.

Appiah is a Project Director for WUSC. She was born and raised just outside Dallas, Texas and enjoys traveling and exploring new cultures. Her family is Asante from the town of Okyerekrom. Isaac, affectionally referred to as "chef" is a Site Manager for ALConstructs. He was born and raised in Takoradi and enjoys watching football and spending quiet time with loved ones.
