Our love began even before we knew it existed. I asked God for everything I ever wanted in a man. Five years later, time, chance, and opportunity led the way. Allen asked me out on a date, I said yes, and the romance of a lifetime began. Allen and I have been dating for 3 years. It has been a wonderful journey. I never knew love like this existed. God has to prepare us and heal us for all of the blessings he has in store for us. On Thanksgiving day 2023, Allen asked my dad for my hand in marriage. He proposed in front of my immediately family. There wasn’t a dry eye in the room, including mine. I happily said yes! We waited and trusted the process. We both feel so blessed with our new beginning.
