Our journey began on November 20th, 2021. It’s hard to believe how we’ve reached this point where I’m about to marry the woman of my dreams. Back then, we were just strangers, and I couldn’t even imagine finding someone like Annette. I often sit here and give thanks to God because he definitely answers prayers. Let me share a brief moment with you. I had given up on dating for a while, but then something led me to this beautiful angel named Annette Marie Bowman. Her radiant smile and warm spirit captivated me in the first few days. We couldn’t put our phones down for a moment. We spent hours talking back and forth, as if we had known each other for a lifetime. Our first date was at a local bowling alley, where we met for the first time. From that moment on, I knew it was love at first sight. God had a plan when he created this incredible woman. After our bowling date, we decided to grab food from our new favorite spot, Taco Boy. We ate and enjoyed each other’s company for hours. Life seemed to be moving slowly, and I didn’t want the night to end. After our wonderful date, I drove her back to her car, and we ended the night with a long hug. From that moment on, I knew I couldn’t let this opportunity slip away. We spent the rest of that year and most of 2022 traveling together and growing closer. Until the day God blessed us with our first child. After our child was born in 2023, I realized I had to take my relationship with her to the next level. I wanted to make her more than just my child’s mother; I wanted to marry her. With God’s blessing, the unwavering support of Annette’s wonderful mother and father, and the invaluable contributions of her close friends and sisters, I managed to orchestrate a once-in-a-lifetime wedding proposal that she had no idea about. I am confident that this marriage will be truly remarkable. I want to express my deepest gratitude to everyone who participated in showing us love and strength, enabling us to build a strong and fulfilling relationship.
