We're getting married!

It was summer of July 2016. Jason had found himself ready to begin a new relationship again and Dolly clicked her mouse as she signed up for another year membership not thinking much of it. Jason got matched with Dolly and five ice-breakers became answers to five deeper questions which led to 25 emails – all in one day, all on a national holiday, July fourth. The connection was there from the start and they both new it. On a national holiday, instead of celebrating out with family and friends, they emailed from 4:45am to 9:46pm in eager anticipation of what the other person would say. To this day they have communicated every single day! Jason and Dolly were drawn to each because of their mutual love for the Lord and the rest was history!

Dolly and Jason both love their families dearly and Jason didn’t get a chance to meet Dolly’s parents until well after a year of dating because they live in Lebanon. Although, Jason had planned an engagement surprise after Dolly’s parents would leave Los Angeles, in an unexpected turn of events, Jason’s parents ended up joining hers for a family vacation in Vegas. It quickly dawned on both of them that nothing would be more special than having an engagement celebration with their families, given the long wait and cherished time Dolly gets only twice a year with her family. Although hints were dropped to dress up and look good for a nice Italian dinner on Wednesday night, the reality of the situation made Dolly nervous and excited at the same time. She knew that her life was going to change that night and God had given her much peace. Jason was also nervous about getting the timing right during the course of the meal. On September 20th, 2017, during dinner at Tuscany Gardens and as Jason’s father was taking his last bite of dinner, Jason couldn’t wait anymore and asked Dolly to marry him in front of her family and she said YES! Needless to say, there was not one dry eye in the room.
