I was in Chicago attending a women's conference, while relaxing in my hotel room, annoyed with the app, I was getting ready to close down my POF page and something told me to check my messages, there was one particular message that stood out asking to take me on a date, I was apprehensive, there was no picture alongside the profile, when asked "why don't you have a picture" Brandons response: "It's to protect my privacy with my congregation" I immediately wanted to decline the invite lol....but I accepted. We had small talk on the way to the restaurant & he felt something was off & asked to pray with me, I was at a very low point in my life and needed that! He grabbed my hands & prayed, through my tears I instantly felt a release....We finally made it inside the restaurant but never got a chance to order dinner while being so engaged in conversation. Before we knew it we were being asked to leave since we were the last ones there and they were closing. Our chemistry was surreal and we didn't want to leave each others presence. When I got back home in Arizona the situation he prayed for rectified itself just as he said it would. I said Lord! If this is the man for me please send me a sign, I don't want a long distance relationship! (Brandon lived in Chicago) At that very moment Brandon called and asked can he visit me and said "I don't want you to have to feel the burden of a long distant relationship" I said wow God! You work fast! Me: Wait!! We in a relationship now? Him: Yes we are & you need to delete your POF page, I'm on my way to Arizona to see you Me: 😬😏🥰 He asked me privately to marry him and I said yes! I was elated and nervous at the same time but everything like clockwork fell into place, we were forced to have a small ceremony last year December due to Covid restrictions & just knew we had to do it again so that all our friends & family could participate. Our love story is unorthodox and strange to some but we get it and that's all that matters!
