James and Kennedy met at Camp Cedar Cliff located in Asheville, NC, on the Billy Graham Cove property. In the summer of 2022, they worked as Camp Counselors together and the next summer, in 2023, there were both on Senior Staff. The first summer, Kennedy caught the eye of James and he asked her out at the end of the summer. Kennedy promptly turned him down, to the detriment of his hopes and dreams. Little communication followed in the next months, however, in early the spring of 2023 Kennedy started having a change of heart. She started to pray for James. Returning to camp, those prayers were starting to take effect. Feelings started flying, and culminated on July 4th, when Kennedy told James that she liked him. James, understandably, was shaken to his core. He then reciprocated the feelings. They wanted to pray and wait, so they decided to wait on the Lord until the end of camp to start a relationship. Their first date was on August 21st, where they went to Mellow Mushroom and then a walk at Brookshire Park. 10 months later, James proposed at Payne Branch Park after leading Kennedy into the middle of the creek and proposing there. She had NO idea. We are so thankful to the Lord for bringing us together in such a unique way and cannot wait to bring Him glory in our marriage!
