Looking back in November of 2024, I was not sure if I would ever find the one who made my heart flutter and that I considered spending forever with. I had been online dating for a few months with only a few dates here and there that never amounted to anything other than a first date. I got on Facebook dating with low expectations until I met Wesley Hamilton. We met for the first time on a Friday night after both working all day. I still remember the Athleta pullover and Vans I was wearing and how nervous I was. I was driving to an unknown guy’s house, so I should have been nervous, right? We had a long first date full of mini golf and Crumbl cookies! I knew there would be many more dates. From the first time I laid eyes on him, I was safe. He has made me feel safe from the very first date! After the first date, we planned to see each other again the next day! The next day we went axe throwing and by the third date, we were exploring my hometown of Union, South Carolina. By the next week or so, I was in love and Wes was too. From that first week, we became inseparable. I knew and still know that the Lord created him just for me! There have been good times and bad times, but the good times far outweigh the bad! The bad times have brought us clarity and closeness while the good times are etched in our memory forever. I truly have found the person who makes my heart flutter and whom I will spend forever with!

That simple message slid into Morgan’s DMs—and unknowingly, into the beginning of our forever. At the time, we were both in seasons of growth, intentionally listening for God’s voice and seeking clarity on where He was leading us individually. Was this a season of waiting, or a season to pursue something meaningful? We both knew one thing for certain: if we were going to date, it would be with purpose—toward marriage and real love. Our first date set the tone for everything. I asked Morgan what she’d like to do, suggesting bowling or a movie, she said, “Why don’t we do mini golf?” Of course, I said yes. When we arrived at Frankie’s and stepped up to the first hole, she insisted I go first. As I placed my ball down, she casually mentioned she used to be on the golf team. I remember thinking, great—this gorgeous woman is about to watch me embarrass myself. But none of that mattered. We played every course, talked about everything and nothing, and never once did it feel forced. Conversation flowed effortlessly. We ended the night with dinner, where we didn’t just talk about favorite movies or colors, but about life, goals, and our relationships with God. When she asked me what my love language was, I remember thinking, This woman is different, This feels special with care. I wasn’t ready for the night to end, so I suggested Dave & Buster’s—and then Crumbl. Six hours flew by, and even then, it still wasn’t enough. I scheduled our next date for the very next day. I showed up an hour late because of car trouble (still makes me laugh), but that second date was the moment I realized I was falling in love—really falling. It felt genuine and true. Before that date even ended, I asked for another one the next day. I drove to Union, and Morgan showed me her hometown, sharing stories of her childhood and pieces of her heart. Three dates, three days in a row—without hesitation, without doubt. That was the beginning of our love story, and honestly, it’s exactly how we’ve continued ever since. We’ve shared countless adventures, laughter, tears, and growth, but what makes our love so extraordinary is how undeniably God-given it feels. We each carry qualities the other didn’t even know they were praying for. Some people say the honeymoon phase lasts only three months—but for us, it feels like it’s just beginning. We are best friends. We share everything—joy, struggles, dreams, and faith. We stand together through the good and the hard, choosing each other every single day. And we will continue to love one another more and more, the mostest, forever.
