Our engagement story 🤍🤎
Rivers worked at UAM as a Recruiter at the time, and Mercy had several friends who attended college there and very often would come to campus and run the outside track with friends (honestly.. she just liked going because of Chik-Fil-A). With mutual friends on social media, Rivers messaged her one day and one text lead to a date to grab coffee. But.. as the person Mercy is, she made him wait a week before meeting him for coffee. When we met that day at 11am, we had an instant connection. One hour lead to two which lead to three.. and before we knew it, it was 6:30pm! From December 2nd 2021 to now, we have been inseparable. Rivers is a dedicated, passionate, gentle, gracious, and God-Fearing man (something Mercy has looked and prayed for for many years). Mercy is a strong, determined, thoughtful giver who loves God with all her heart (something Rivers has prayed for since he was 7 years old). We have been on many adventures together, (including hikes to several of Arkansas’ gorgeous state parks. WE LOVE NATURE) but no adventure that we have had in the months of being together has come close to the EXCITEMENT and anticipation of the adventure of Marriage! We are so grateful to God for blessing us with abundant blessings and for giving us both the patience to wait while He has written our story. We covet your prayers as we step into our biggest adventure yet!
