Our story began at the 2024 ENC Conference in Orlando, Florida. Introduced over dinner with a mutual friend, we felt an immediate and undeniable connection. As time would reveal, our meeting was no coincidence. In fact, our paths had crossed a year earlier at the very same conference. Though brief, those earlier interactions planted the seeds of familiarity that would later blossom into something extraordinary. Even more remarkably, we discovered we were both part of the 2015 freshman class at the University of North Texas. Despite the initial challenge of living in different states, North Carolina and Texas, our connection deepened through months of late-night conversations and heartfelt messages. Determined to take our bond further, Justin traveled to Houston for us to have our first official date. In just a few days together, it became clear that our relationship was something truly special. From the beginning, we have seen God’s hand at work in our relationship. We are confident that our union was brought together for a greater purpose and look forward to the beautiful life we will build together as we embark on this new chapter.
