The marriage of

Our story begins around the year 2018, we would see one another at events, parties, or even out on the boat, just friends, but there was always a… *spark* that gave us this habit of locking eyes. Though, God knew it wasn’t time for us yet, we both still had some learning to do and things to figure out. So flash forward to September, 2021 when he finally gathered the courage to ask me out on a date and pick me up in his 1988 F-250 that barely started. Our first date was supposed to be at a restaurant until it started pouring down rain and they were closing, so we drove through Chick-Fil-A instead. In my opinion, best first date ever. In September, 2024 it will be 3 years of love and happiness, so what better way to celebrate it than by becoming one. Although our story is not a fairytale beginning, I thank God for giving us a fairytale ending with a beautiful relationship, built on trust and friendship.

We went to brunch at a pretty fancy place so we both dressed up for the day. After brunch I thought we were going to walk the strand but he offered “it was a pretty day let’s go to the beach”. So we got to the truck and drove until we got to a white wooden walkway to the beach. We started walking up onto the walkway and he stopped me at the gazebo and got down on one knee. After I said yes and the ring was on my finger I noticed the photographer! We went down onto the beach and started taking pictures and had a toast to our first moments being fiancés. Once we got back to the truck, he pulled out a dozen roses for me. He did perfect with the day, the ring, the love.
