Watch the proposal here! Thanks to Jehovah, our family, and friends it turned out to be an unforgettable moment that we’ll never forget.

How We Met

It All Started In The DM's

Damon: Its funny how things can happen. I was making a smooth exit off of Instagram. I was honestly losing interest with being on social media. I don't remember how we ended up becoming followers of each other. Our interactions were very light and simple and definitely funny! I fell in love with the fact we had REAL conversation. You hear "real" a lot , but its not about whats being said but its how the conversation makes you think and feel. When Portia and I talked it was like I had known her all my life, It was like I was staring into a mirror and all I could think is that "I have been looking for this all my life!". Prior to meeting Portia, I prayed to Jehovah everyday for what I needed in a woman that I would spend my life with and as time went on it was clear that she was everything that I was praying for. I never had to ask her to be what I prayed to Jehovah about, she was just organically the amazing person that I was looking for. She was supportive, loving, sensitive, funny and a very spiritual woman which was the most attractive quality that she has. I admired her zeal and her attitude towards spiritual things and the ministry and her ability to improve and to make changes. This inspired and pushed me, I knew being with Portia would help me to be an even better man, provider, and a better servant of Jehovah. After 6 months of being good friends we decided to take the next steps in our relationship and from there I saw even more why I am here today. I still see the grit she has to be a better woman, her love for Jehovah and her constant love for me, even on the hard days. For that reason I cannot wait to spend my life with such an amazing, beautiful, and intelligent, woman. Thank you so much to those being apart of her journey and now ours to come! See you all soon! Portia: I was tired of meeting the same men and was over-dating. Like the typical millennial I was ready to dramatically delete all of my social media apps and disappear. I was hyper focused on pioneering and wanted to forget dating, but I met Damon somewhere I never thought I would. Damon messaged me on Instagram and I thought he was going to approach me like men usually do, which is very arrogant and immature. However Damon approached me as a person and not an object. A simple DM turned into 4 hour long conversations. His conversation was so sincere, genuine and funny. He was sensitive, deep, and his love for Jehovah was breath taking. After 6 months of a wonderful friendship I really saw how Damon was everything I prayed for. It was truly scary to see how Jehovah gave me everything I asked for. As our relationship progressed Damon's ability to understand my emotions without me speaking, knowing what scripture to give without me asking, praying for me openly when I don't have the answers, making me laugh every second of the day when I'm down is what made me fall deep in love. He is a hardworking, empathetic, caring, sensitive, spiritual man that I am proud to say is mines! I'm excited to start our future!
