Ryten and I met in 2014 at church and I thought he hated me lol. At our church, we would meet during the first week of every month for prayer. At the time, there would only be 4 people attending for the first half hour. Ryten, me, and two other members of the church. We would group up and he'd say hi to the two members and ignore me. When I asked him if he needed any help, he would brush me off. It wasn't until 2020 that we started to have conversations. My friends would always ask me "What about Ryten? Would you consider him?" And I'd always reply "Ryten is just my friend. Whoever marries him will be so blessed." One day, during a church meeting on zoom, one of the pastors was sharing his love story with his wife. The pastor shared that when God revealed that he would marry his wife, the pastor replied "No Lord, she's my friend." That line shot to my heart and I knew God was speaking to me about Ryten. I shared with my leader that I would be open to considering Ryten. She encouraged me to hang out with him. We went to watch the sunset for our first hang out. It was awkward for me lol. For over a year we talked, hung out, and got to know each other as friends. He would do really sweet things for me like treat my friends and I to dinner, bring me food all the time, and get me BTS merch that I was wanting. During our friendship stage, I got a word from God that he would be my husband. The word is found in Proverbs 31:23. Even though I got the word, we still remained friends and continued to get to know each other. One day, he asked to watch the sunset with me. I had a feeling that he was going to ask me out and felt awkward, so I invited all our friends to come lol. He still pursued, thankfully, and we started dating in July of 2022. I fell in love with Ryten because of how compassionate, open, and loving he is. My relationship with him has always reminded me of the love of God. He proposed to me on March 22, 2024 during a sunset and now we will be getting married during a sunset on September 21, 2024.

I knew of Ona since 2014. I never talked to her because I was in another relationship, focused on Jesus, and was not a part of the young people's group she was with. In the beginning of 2020, I got the opportunity to get to be around her more and we would get to talk a little more. One of my favorite memories during this time was when she put together a hangout with all our friends for my birthday. She was definitely having some thoughts about what could be I think. But I know she was just being the nice spontaneous person she is. During the holiday season of 2021, I got to share a lot of my personal life with her during a couple of sunset talks at the beach which got me thinking about things too. In the beginning of 2022, God opened my heart to date again after my grandma went home. God gave me the promise of finding my wife in Genesis 24 and on July 24, 2022 I asked Ona to become my girlfriend (she has the story of how well that went which was also meant to happen at the beach during sunset). From then, I got to learn more about the beautiful and amazing woman God had preserved for me to enjoy life with. I loved getting to see and learn about how much she cared about her family and the genuinely loving person she was. On March 22, 2024 (long overdue), I asked the love of my life to be my wife on a beach during sunset and on September 21, 2024 we get to stand together on a beach during sunset to become bonded together till death do us part.
