Ohh man this is a good one! Maryorie: I had been on Upward (a Christian dating app) for about a year 🗓️. I usually went on and swiped left as a past time. I had been praying to God to prepare my husband for me and prepare me for my husband 🙏🏼 but also, in January of 2025, I told God that I was declaring I would meet my husband in 2025. Fast forward ⏩ to June 5, 2025 around 9 pm, I was doing my usual swiping left when I came across Bobby’s profile. I scrolled all the way down to see his drinking and smoking habits (believe it or not there are a lot of drinkers on this Christian dating app) and I noticed he marked no for both 😁. Then I read his “about me” and thought he had some potential. I proceeded to go through his pictures and decided I didn’t want to swipe left on him but I also didn’t want to swipe right because he might see and what if he didn’t like me back 😳. Anyway, I just left him there but then God took over, I dropped my phone and when I picked it up and looked at my screen I had accidentally swiped right 😱; But it was a match (made in heaven)!🥰 I didn’t want to write to him just yet because it was late so I decided I would write to him the next day. Well, the next day came and I didn’t write to him but that evening I received a notification that he had written to me. I replied and we’ve been “kinda” talking since. There are so many details to our story 📝 that point us back to God that we can’t help but give him all of the glory for bringing us together! If you ever want to hear the best love story just ask we’d be glad to share! ❤️

So in the first week of Bobby and I talking I told him all about the details of the kind of ring I wanted. I was being silly. Just a couple weeks later (after I realized I wanted to marry this man) I told him to forget anything I had ever told him about a ring (except for my ring size of course)! I wanted my ring to be something he chose on his own not something I influenced or picked myself. I felt like if I had let God lead me to Bobby then I had to let him do everything because obviously Gods plans are much better than mine. So I let it be for a while. Then one day I sent Bobby one of those silly reels that show a bunch of different rings and say something like “which one would she choose?” and I realized that his demeanor changed so of course I kept probing until he said that he felt a little discouraged because the ring he got me didn’t look anything like any of the rings in that reel. I told him I didn’t care about the ring, he could’ve gotten me a key ring and I’d still love it because it came from him. Well of course now I knew he had a ring and I spent a lot of time trying to figure out when he would be popping the question. I paid really close attention to his words and actions and he took advantage of that. Well of course the day he finally did propose I didn’t even see it coming. I was almost certain it wouldn’t be that day. It was the perfect day too! On the day Bobby proposed we had our regular meet in west Stockbridge at the Main Street Cafe. On the way there we started talking about how we met and all the details that brought us this far. We had our coffee, we went to The Lost Lamb (a bakery across the street from the Main Street Cafe) and got some delicious Apple danishes, then we went to Marshall’s and headed back to my car which was parked at the police station where we normally meet. At this police station is a park where we have one of many memories. The first time we went to that park we sat on a bench, my head laid on his shoulder just looking off into the vast field of grass and trees. We saw a giant bird which we later realized was a Heron and while sitting on that bench Bobby said “years from now I want to think back to this moment”. So we’re in the car at around 5:30 pm on December 6, 2025, which means it was dark out and Bobby decides it’s a good time to tread through the snow (in sneakers) to sit on this bench. After some resistance I finally agreed and we started walking toward where we thought the bench was but again it was dark so we were a little disoriented. We found the bench, dusted the snow off and sat for a while. It was nice sitting there reminiscing. We got up to head back, I took like 3 steps and hear Bobby say “This isn’t how I wanted to do this…” as he’s getting down on one knee. I immediately said “no, get up there’s snow on the ground” and I can be a bit animated when talking sometimes so I accidentally knocked the box out of his hand and into the snow. He got the box and opened it (I couldn’t see a thing) and I tried to hug him but he told me he wasn’t done, so he asked me to marry him and of course I said yes! He put the ring on my finger and explained that he got it a little bigger than I said cause he wanted it to fit. To show him that it fit I started shaking my hand and immediately realized that was a bad idea but not before he said to stop doing that cause there was snow on the ground and it was dark and we’d never find the ring in those conditions. We laughed so much that day and then I got to hear about all the effort that went into him proposing. I have to say that this man is beyond a dream come true for me. I feel like God custom made him just for me and me for him. I couldn’t ask for a better man to call my fiancé and future husband!
