It was a sunny spring day when Karona and Jeff's paths converged once again. Five years after their service together at Ft. Stewart, their lives had taken diverse turns. Karona, embarking on a new chapter as an Army nurse newly assigned to the DMV area, and Jeff, a retired Army veteran navigating the private sector and club promotion. Their reunion over lunch, filled with smiles and glimpses, sparked a connection that defied the passage of time. Determined not to let another five years slip away, Jeff invited Karona to an event he was hosting, marking the beginning of a journey that transcended friendship. From authentic Jamaican dinners to late-night conversations across time zones during Jeff's business trips overseas, their bond deepened. The magic unfolded during a funfilled first date weekend in DC, where they discovered an undeniable connection. As their love blossomed, they embraced each other's worlds, introducing friends and family. Key moments included Karona meeting Jeff's daughters, Triniece and Tierra, and later Jeff meeting Mr. Jaden. Through ups and downs, their courtship remained anchored in honesty and friendship, leading to the joyous arrival of their daughter, Kennedi. Solidifying their commitment, Jeff and Karona officially became a couple again, paving the way for a heartfelt proposal on December 9th, 2022. Now, with their hearts full of gratitude, Jeff and Karona invite their closest friends and family to witness and celebrate their union on June 23rd, 2024. They extend heartfelt thanks to those who have supported them along the way and eagerly anticipate sharing this special day with the ones they hold dear.
