Jada and Ryan are both from the same area, but their first impressions were… very... off. Ryan thought Jada was unapproachable, and Jada thought Ryan was childish—so naturally, they stopped being friends. Everything changed when Jada visited Bethel with her family and met a completely different Ryan—sweet, thoughtful, and impossible not to like. At the same time, Ryan saw a completely different Jada. Her genuine care for others, sweet nature, and mildness quickly stood out and made it impossible for him not to fall in love. Friendship returned, which quickly turned into best friendship. Turns out, they had more in common than they realized. They shared the same goals and the same zeal to do more for Jehovah—and at that point, the love became impossible to ignore. Ryan brings Jada out of her shell, Jada keeps Ryan grounded, and together they somehow make it work perfectly. Ryan’s positivity can brighten even the worst days, his big heart (and strong work ethic) sealed the deal, and Jada was officially hooked. Their courtship has been smooth, filled with unexpected paid date nights, travel, and constant reminders of Jehovah’s hand—proving that first impressions are overrated! … and love definitely has a sense of humor.
