Jay and I met very briefly through mutual friends around Thanksgiving in 2019 when we were both coincidentally dating other people. We sat in a group of people and talked for a couple of hours and then went our separate ways and we didn’t see each other again until the summer of 2020! We were both freshly single and healing from a lot of things and became fast friends while serving at Redemption Church together, eventually spending so much time together that our friends had to say something to give Jay the confidence to ask me on a date. By Christmas of 2020 we were officially dating and the nearly two years since then have been the most beautiful, healing and growing years of our lives and we could not be more excited to start our lives together as husband and wife!
