It was supposed to be just another Ghana trip with her friends. Maryjane had a feeling this trip would be different though. A friend of hers was supposed to be getting proposed to, but she was also trying to play match maker. Usually, Maryjane was reserved to the idea of long distance relationships. The Ghana love bug had already gotten two of her friends and she wasn't trying to be next. After a little nudge though, MJ decided to keep her mind open to the possibilities. She had already heard a bit about Festus and had seen a few pics too. He was definitely a looker, and she didn't mind getting a closer look. A few days into the trip, a welcome party had been thrown for the travelers, by her friend's boyfriend and his friends. Festus was one of those friends, and Maryjane didn't want to admit it, but she was looking forward to finally meeting this guy. At the party, Maryjane and her friends split up and went around greeting everyone. Festus and his friends had been waiting a while to see the "abrochi" (abroad) crew, and it was finally time. As Maryjane made her way over to Festus, she couldn't help but think to herself, "Okay, yeah, he is fiiine!" He looked just as good in person, maybe even better. Festus was feeling shy to meet MJ and her friends. When she finally got to him, he didn't say much. They both said hello, shook hands, and exchanged friendly smiles. Little did Maryjane know that Festus would be asking his friends about her, and little did Festus know that Maryjane was hoping to see more of him on her trip. That's exactly what would happen, and when it was time to say goodbye at the airport, the pair couldn't ignore their brewing feelings for each other. This was the start of something new. Wouldn't you know it, the Ghana love bug had gotten them too! "As we venture on this new chapter together, we will always be thankful to Jehovah, and for that one trip that brought us together. We also want to thank our family and close friends for their unwavering support! Our goal is to continue serving Jehovah together, grow together, fall more in love with each other, and never stop 'going the distance' for our love!" -Festus and Maryjane
