This pic was taken on the ferry during a hangout day with our friends. We were not dating in this picture. Daron had a huge crush on me at the time and hadn't yet confessed his love for me.

This picture is with some of our youth group students and leaders. We both liked each other at this time, but were not yet in a relationship.

This was taken the day after we started dating at our church during a massive Baptism Sunday! The other girl was one of Teleia's high school students in youth group who just got baptized.

One of the shots taken by Teleia's best friend, Julissa. Teleia was sitting on a fence post in this picture and actually was terrified hoping she wouldn't fall off.

Another beautiful shot taken by Teleia's best friend Julissa at a couple's photoshoot. These were taken at on of the local beaches on Whidbey Island in WA and is a favorite spot of Teleia's.

A goofy picture taken at our first date night after Daron arrived in Tucson. We had been separated for 6 months and were so excited to be back together.

Another picture during our first date after 6 months. This was taken outside Park Place mall. Super fun and memorable date!

This was taken on a bridge at Reid Park. We had a beautiful breakfast picnic that morning. It was a chilly morning, but beautiful and delicious!

One of our many engagement photos we love!

A lot of people wonder where Daron got my engagement ring... It's a beautiful and unique ring he got from Walmart! Surprise :)

This is one of our favorite engagement photos! Daron was in the middle of laughing during this pic, which ended up working out and becoming a beautiful shot.

A perfect example of romance and goofiness in our relationship! We love being romantic, as every couple does, but we also love having fun and aren't afraid to be silly in public together.

Daron's face in this pic is pricless... This is one of those "look how he looks at her" pictures.

Beautiful shot of the engagement ring. I'm currently giggling in the back as Daron is smiling and trying not to crack.

Even though we don't always agree on everything, we always try to see each other from the other's perspective.

What an honor it is to enter into this new season of marriage. For those of you wondering, a friend of Teleia's, Tiffany Kelly, is the one who did our engagement photos. She is awesome!

May I have this dance?

Another beautiful shot of the ring. I am blessed as a woman to have Daron as my fiance.

Taken at youth group one night with some of our high school students. We had not yet started dating, but REALLY liked each other. The students in this pic were hoping we would become a couple someday.

Taken very shortly after we started dating. I believe this was our 2nd or 3rd date when this was taken.

Taken during a chill hangout night at Teleia's old house in WA. She was in her PJ's in this pic!

A friend of ours brought a puppy to the church while Teleia was on her lunch break. Look at the little guy! <3

Daron has such a servant's heart and was determined to paint Teleia's nails! He was very careful and took his time to make it as perfect as possible. This is during...

This is after... Look at how good he did! He even put cuticle oil on and everything! For those of you who don't know... Teleia is a nail artist and has been painting nails of friends and family for various occasions since she was 12.

These are the contents of one of the many gift bags Daron has bought for me. This was close to the time we started dating. He still buys me gifts to this day. He is very much a hopeless romantic!

For many of you who don't know, Teleia is actually significantly taller than Daron by 4 inches! Teleia is 5'6" while Daron is 5'2".

Teleia, Daron, and their Young Adult Ministry, DWELL, went to the Awaken 2020 Conference in January. It was so much fun and very powerful! Daron had his deaf ear healed at this conference!

This was the day Teleia said yes!! Daron proposed to her on Christmas day at the Oakland house in front of all her family. You can find the video on Facebook. ❤️

Roses are Teleia's favorite flower. This is known as the engagement rose as it was part of the present leading up to the proposal. Teleia plans on having this rose incorporated into her wedding bouquet!

This was taken at a fun date night at Dave & Buster's! It's one of our go-to date options. We visit regularly and never find ourselves getting bored.

Taken at Skate Country in Tucson. This is another place we love to go for date night, but can't go as often because bruising is a thing...

Taken at the last Christmas we had together before Teleia moved. Because they were packing, they ended up only putting up a mini Christmas tree which is what's in the background.

Taken on Teleia's last Sunday in Life Church before she moved. She may have been smiling, but the tears afterwards were real. This was a difficult season, but we made it!

One of our favorite pics together! A pinky promise to be together forever while wearing our matching bracelets that say, "Stronger with you."

Taken by Julissa at one of our favorite photo spots. Teleia & Julissa have often gone here together to allow Julissa to practice her photography.

We were at a friend's house to watch football with a party of other people. It ended up snowing a lot this day!

Daron left his hat and sunglasses at the church office when interning with Quin one week. I made sure to let him know lol.

This is a customized light Teleia got me for Christmas a couple years ago. It's one of my favorite things. ❤️

This was another picture taken at our church the day after we started dating. I (Teleia) posted this on Instagram to announce our relationship. SO many friends were waiting for it to happen and were wondering what took so long lol.
