Carson & Katherine met in August of 2022, through their church, Lakeview Christian Center. Katherine moved to New Orleans to pursue her dance career and Carson moved the same summer to begin his residency program in ophthalmology. Although they caught each other’s attention, the two remained friends until July 2nd, 2023. Carson didn’t want to be alone that Sunday afternoon, so he invited some friends, including Katherine, for a walk in City Park and a trip to Sonic. Fortunately, the other friends bailed on going to Sonic and it was just Carson and Katherine, marking their first unofficial date! They talked for hours and knew they wanted to continue seeing one another. After spending more time getting to know each other, they started officially dating on July 28th, 2023 during a romantic walk in Lafreniere Park. Their dating relationship consisted of an ever-growing love and companionship that they both knew was special and something to hold onto. Bringing it full circle, with an exact fulfillment of Katherine’s dreams, Carson proposed under a gazebo in Lafreniere Park on April 12th, 2025! The two know that their relationship is a beautiful example of the Lord’s faithfulness and His perfect timing. They are beyond excited to unite their lives and to be running the race of endurance together🤍 Ecclesiastes 4:9-12 Two are better than one, because they have a good return for their labor: If either of them falls down, one can help the other up. But pity anyone who falls and has no one to help them up. Also, if two lie down together, they will keep warm. But how can one keep warm alone. Though one may be overpowered, two can defend themselves. A cord of three strands is not quickly broken.
