The Groom’s Perspective

2018 - Death do us part

wow wow. Here we are, about to get married to my gift from God. But first let me tell you how I got here at least. So it all started early 2019, that’s when I remember first meeting the wonderful Charlene Gachoya. It was a weird feeling… I couldn’t call it love at first sight. But more like when I first seen her, I figured that one day I would be in love with this girl. That feeling was SHOCKINGLY spot on. Soon after meeting her she became my ā€œcelebrity crushā€ haha. I never had any intentions on actually dating her or anything, I just thought she was the ā€œbees kneesā€ and was very content with our friendship. We would talk occasionally, I’d see her every now and then, but it wasn’t anything too crazy. We were just good friends all throughout 2019, becoming a bit better friends towards the end of the year. The thought of us being a ā€œthingā€ was completely vacant from my mind. Entering 2020 was a very emotional time for me. I was mourning some drastically big changes that were taking place in my life. Man I was just clinging on to God. In the background during this time, there were some rumblings. Rumblings about me and char being a ā€œthingā€. I’ll be honest. I was confused and thought people were reaching far and wide to come with such conclusions. With these rumblings picking up and getting intensified, being the extremely observant and aware person I am, completely missed all the signalsšŸ˜€ā€¦. Now to hear the part 2 of how we got from that ^ point to now. Subscribe to a close friendship with us and I’ll happily tell you all. Or I might do a speech or sumšŸ˜ Love Y’all

The Bride’s Perspective

2018 till forever & always

Such JOY fills my heart when I think of the moment I met Gabriel to this moment. The day I met him he made Jesus Lord. I mean, wow, looking at him like šŸ„¹šŸ˜šŸ˜‡. But, I wasn’t interested. We had mutual friends and I just saw him as my cute younger brother that I wanted to pinch his cheeks! Throughout time, I was doing my thing and dreaming big for travels outside of the US. After a few years in college, I needed to get out of Ga! But my roommate and I at the time would be googly-eyed about Gabe and how smooth and confident he was. I felt tugs at my heart each time we’d talk but thought it away. Summer 2019, we both went on trips to Spain and Ghana to serve the churches there. He told me right before that he wanted more of a friendship with me so I took him up on it and we Marco Polo’d across time zones. I always loved talking to him because he was real, sincere, and faithful. We come back and go on a group date and TRULY left feeling like I had some ā€œstirringsā€. I wouldn’t admit them to myself. Time passes and crushing on his intentionality, his ā€œI don’t care what ANYONE thinks attitude, and his apparent obliviousness. Then quarantine hits and I knew I couldn’t let this one go! So much more to the story but whatta man. The way he pursued me and continues to will be one for the books.
