We are getting married AGAIN!!!!

We met 5 years ago! We were both looking to just be friends and go with the flow, but we were becoming inseparable so we made it official.

I purchased the ring the day before Valentine’s Day. I figured proposing to her on Valentine’s Day would be very cliche so I decided to switch it up. This was a special moment that she wanted to share with all of her loved ones. So I had to come up with a way to get them all here without her knowing. It’s quite the task to keep a secret from Kaliedra. There was a collaborative effort in planning the surprise. Everybody had an important piece in making it work. She is hard to surprise. I managed to get her family here from Alabama without her knowing. With the help of my friends and church family they helped me make this moment possible. Everybody pitched in and gave a helping hand with the food and decorations. Her friends also played a big part as well. They helped keep her occupied while we setup the clubhouse for the big moment. As she arrived she walked in and to her complete surprise her family, friends, and some of my supporters were all there waiting for her. I walked out completely nervous but absolutely ready to make her my wife. I got down on one knee and the rest is history! We're so excited to celebrate this next chapter in our lives with you. See you on April 4th

On April 4,2020 at 4pm we became one in a 30 minute “Social Distance” Vow exchange ceremony. Our planned big day was canceled, but God had another plan *a little backstory* my first venue unexpectedly went bankrupt last August 2019, we lost $4000, our photographer, and our DJ due to having to find a new venue and date. Once we booked a new venue and date, we were again being told our wedding would not occur due to the quarantine orders for Covid-19. Needless to say I was devastated the happiest day of my life just seemed so far from reach and the pressure of planning a wedding for a 3rd time was just unbearable. I wept like no other, I prayed, I became angry, I became sad, I became hopeless. I was so heartbroken, But let me tell y’all about the God I serve, He showed me who was ultimately in control and exactly what the true meaning of marriage is (a divine covenant between a man and a woman under his authority) Y’all I swear I’m not the Bible pusher type at all but my God came through for us! He gave me a paid off wedding anniversary party for next year, $8,000 refund from the venue cancellation(no debt left from the planned wedding), CBS17 news station has reached out to us to share our story not 1, not 2, but 3 separate times to keep following up. We received so many gifts and well wishes, and he gave me friends and family who put together the best impromptu outside ceremony EVER! It turned out beautifully and cost us nothing! No stress, no rehearsals, no bridesmaid, no dancing, just myself, my husband, and GOD!!

April 4, 2021 Will be our 1 year anniversary as The Bushfans. We wanted to take the time to celebrate this day on April 3, 2021 to not only commemorate the challenging year of 2020 but also the many blessings 2020 brought! We have pushed through this pandemic with our health intact, our finances intact, a new business, and my baptismal! We would like to celebrate how good God is and has been to us in this season! We hope to see you ALL there, practicing social distancing of course!
