No, seriously, that's how it happened. While we both walked into the bar uncertain of what was before us, we can absolutely say that we had no idea the love that would come from that experience. We met on August 9th, 2019 at Watts and Ward in Downtown Raleigh. Caleb was shy, but so was Stepheny. While things started off fairly casual, they both quickly realized that they had found someone special in one another. Not long after that first date did things become more serious and with the turn of the year and the COVID Pandemic hitting hard, Caleb moved up to Roanoke Rapids to keep their circle close and still spend meaningful time with one another. It was clear from that moment on that we would be inseparable. Fast forward to a couple of moves and new jobs to October 2021. Stepheny and Caleb went on a hike while camping at Jordan Lake. While entering the woods, Stepheny noted how beautiful a clearing was and Caleb knew that fate was on his side. He proposed and she, of course, said yes! It is so rare to spend so much time with one person and still, when you spend time apart, miss the time together. They have found in one another a shared heart, but also a drive and yearning to push one another to grow and be the best versions of their selves. To have partners who will never stop loving and learning alongside one another, in a world that is so frightening, is a splendid gift indeed.
