How We Met (10/21/23)

It started with a Flame

They met at "Campus Movement," a Christian retreat hosted by Ignite for college campus leaders. Ariel had gone to a campfire hangout with some friends (Ashley, Jazmin, and Bella) to meet some of the other college campus leaders. She and Jazmin ran across two UNC-Charlotte Ignite attenders, Blessing and Grace- they clicked instantly. As they are talking, Cole decided that this would be the PERFECT time to strike up a conversation with Ariel. He began by asking her about her major, what school she went to and how she came across Ignite. The next day, after the sermon had ended, Cole came up to Ariel and asked for her number. She hesitated, but gave it to him, praying to God that she made a good decision for once. From there, they began texting and set up their first date, which would be at ParTee Shack (a mini golf course) followed by Hops Burger Bar.
