How We Met

From the Gateway Arch to the Altar

Devin and Ariana met in St. Louis, Missouri, while participating in a mission trip to support residents in need. Ariana was drawn to Devin because he wore a fire department hat, had a great personality, and was easy to talk to. Meanwhile, Devin was more focused on the mission experience itself. After the trip, they went their separate ways, but about a year later, they reconnected when Devin's brother, Treyvon, shared Devin's Snapchat info with Ariana. Devin quickly recalled that Ariana was the one who had chased him around the church where they stayed during the trip. Once Ariana added him on Snapchat and they started chatting, the rest became history!
