They met at church, serving on the Creative Team at Union Church Charlotte. Donovan was the video coordinator, and Finnisha was just getting started, training for her very first Sunday. That morning, their Pastor asked everyone in the circle to share a helpful tip for Finnisha as she began her journey. One by one, the team offered their advice… until it came to Donovan. He said nothing. Not a word. Just silence. In that moment, Finnisha made up her mind—he probably wasn’t friendly, and they definitely wouldn’t be friends. But as it turns out, she couldn’t have been more wrong. Over the following months, they served alongside one another, gradually moving from strangers to playfully admiring each other’s creative gifts. Shared interests like running, music, and a deep love for God began to naturally pull them closer. What neither of them knew was that they had both been praying the same prayer around the same time: telling God they were ready for their person. And in the most unexpected but perfect way, He brought them together. Their friendship blossomed into something deeper, something steady and true. Their first official date was set for a Friday morning walk at one of Finnisha’s favorite greenways. But like most love stories that don’t wait for the "perfect" moment, they couldn’t either. Late one night, during a phone call, they decided to meet up at Waffle House around 11:30 PM. That spontaneous late-night meal turned into the beginning of everything. Since then, life has been a beautiful rhythm of shared workouts, cheering on their favorite teams, binge-watching shows, and most importantly—serving God, side by side. Not everything in life lines up perfectly… but when God writes the story, it’s always right on time.
