We first met in November 2013 at a church retreat hosted by Avenue Baptist Church. Individually, we committed our lives to Christ, got baptized, and became members of ABC. We continue to serve the church today.
It was late in the evening on December 28, 2018, when Jeff asked Christine to marry him while standing in front of their pastor's family home which was beautifully decorated with Christmas lights. Christine, overcome with shock and joy, could not answer right away, but said "Yes" before Jeff would start to freeze from the cold. The two celebrated that night with their pastor's family and over delicious ice cream.
