We met one night through a mutual friend, funnily enough, during a rare moment of socializing for both of us. Neither of us are exactly the life of the party, but fate clearly had other plans that evening. Truth be told, I had been eyeing Mr. James for a while. There was something about him, quiet confidence, kind eyes, the way he carried himself that caught my attention early on. So, in a rare burst of courage, I shot my shot from half court... and to my surprise, it was nothing but net! From that moment, things just clicked. We started spending more time together, long conversations, shared laughs, quiet moments that somehow said more than words ever could. What began as a spark quickly grew into something steady, warm, and real. By May of 2021, we decided to make it official. It wasn’t a grand moment; it didn’t have to be. It was just the two of us, choosing each other with open hearts and a quiet certainty. And from that point on, it’s been a beautiful journey. We’ve built a life rooted in parenting, friendship, trust, humor, and deep love. We’ve seen each other through highs, lows, and everything in between. And now, we're so excited to take the next step surrounded by the people who mean the most to us.
