Our story began in February 2020—just before the world changed. At the time, Jerald was living in Arizona, and in March 2020, he made the drive all the way to Long Island, New York to visit Christina. He arrived just one day before the COVID lockdown, turning what could have been an uncertain moment into one we will treasure forever. We spent our very first date together making memories that still make us smile today—laughing, talking, and realizing how special our connection truly was. That visit marked the beginning of our love and we grew stronger through distance, time, and countless miles. For the next 5.5 years, we navigated long-distance love, moving from state to state, always choosing each other no matter where life took us. Through every challenge, our bond only deepened. Now, after six incredible years together, we are finally settling down side by side and ready to begin this next chapter as husband and wife! We are beyond grateful for our journey that brought us here and so excited to say “I do” in front of our family and friends!
