We met through mutual friends. Berenda was extending hospitality, and Charles was doing what he does best, looking after the friends and being genuinely kind. We have been friends for several years, always spending time with the same circle of associates and attending some of the same social events, but never taking things any further. Our mutual friends were in our ears pushing us to become a couple, but we were cautiously resisting. COVID finally helped us come to our senses and we decided to take our friendship to the next level. Knowing each other for so long and being able to observe each other's qualities over an extended period of time helped us to quickly realize we were the right fit for each other. Now here we are, ready to say, "I do" for life. On May 1st, the adventure begins! "Two are better than one. . . And a threefold cord cannot quickly be torn apart." - Ecclesiastes 4: 9-12
