We met as youngsters while attending Mt. Gilead Baptist Church here in Nashville, TN. As our involvement in church activities grew, our friendship continued to blossom. We developed a bond that could never be broken. We would often converse with each other, whether it was just sharing a laugh, updating each other on our families, or making sure that we were both doing okay and that things were alright. Two and a half years ago, the Lord saw fit to transition our friendship into a relationship. We are truly thankful that God chose to put us in each other's path. We are overjoyed about what the future holds for our union.
