It all started with a swipe on Hinge. Karonn thought Tyria was beautiful… and a little weird. Tyria thought Karonn was handsome… and maybe a little boring. But God clearly had a plan bigger than first impressions. Their connection deepened quickly—especially during a long phone call while Tyria was driving home from Tennessee. Hours flew by as they talked, laughed, and discovered how much they had in common. Tyria was struck by Karonn’s intelligence and depth, and Karonn was drawn to Tyria’s wit, warmth, and sharp mind. As their relationship grew, so did their faith and love. They found joy in each other’s quirks, strength in each other’s character, and peace in knowing they were building something real—something rooted in God. Then came the proposal. With the help of Tyria’s sisters (and a clever plan involving “family photos”), Karonn popped the question at church, surrounded by love and faith—the perfect setting for the beginning of forever. Today, they’re excited to start a new chapter: building a life filled with love, purpose, laughter, and a shared devotion to God. They dream of starting a family and growing together in every way. **“Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor... Heavenly Father, Thank You for bringing us together in Your perfect timing. As we begin this journey as husband and wife, we ask for Your presence to be the foundation of our marriage. Teach us to love each other with patience and kindness, to forgive quickly, and to always choose grace. Help us to build a home filled with joy, peace, and purpose—a place where Your love is felt in every word and action. May we grow together in faith, support each other’s dreams, and walk hand in hand through every season of life. Bless our union with strength, laughter, and unwavering commitment. Let our love be a reflection of Your love, and may our story always point back to You. In Jesus’ name,
