The Start to Forever- Donald and Ariel's Proposal Video, Christmas Eve 2025, High Museum- Atlanta, GA

What Started as a Simple Swipe

August 27, 2025

We didn’t find each other by accident, we found each other by grace. From the very beginning, our connection felt intentional. What started as a simple introduction quickly unfolded into something neither of us could ignore: a sense of peace, recognition, and purpose. As we spent time together, our conversations deepened, laughter came easily, and trust grew naturally. We discovered a shared love for faith, family, and building a life rooted in commitment and authenticity. Through honest conversations, prayer, and time spent walking alongside one another’s families and communities, God gently confirmed what our hearts were already learning, that we were being drawn together for something lasting. We learned how to support one another, how to communicate openly, and how to choose love with clarity and courage. Donald fell in love with Ariel’s grace, strength, and steady heart; the way she loves deeply, listens fully, and brings warmth and joy wherever she goes. Ariel fell in love with Donald’s character, leadership, and kindness ; the way he shows up with integrity, protects what matters, and loves with intention. What we share is not just romance, but partnership. We are best friends, teammates, and each other’s answered prayer. With gratitude and humility, we step forward together, ready to build a life marked by faith, laughter, growth, and enduring love. We can’t wait to celebrate this next chapter with the people who mean the most to us.
