We’re getting married

Love Across Oceans: A Digital Spark, A Lifetime Flame “When two hearts are meant to meet, no distance is too great.” Date: February 19, 2025 The Beginning: A Digital Connection It all started with a simple message. Trudy Ann Jackson, a vibrant, warm-hearted woman from Jamaica, loves life and people. She is the kind of person who could walk into a room full of strangers and leave with a dozen new friends. Her infectious laughter and love for cooking made her the soul of every gathering. Jean Pierre Nyabenda, on the other hand, is a man of quiet strength. Born and raised in Rwanda, he is kind, mild-mannered, yet outgoing and full of adventure. He has an undeniable love for good food and an appetite for exploring the unknown. Though they were from two different worlds, fate brought them together through an online platform in early 2024. What started as a casual conversation quickly turned into daily chats filled with laughter, deep conversations, and dreams about the future. Trudy is drawn to Jean Pierre’s adventurous spirit and the way he appreciates the little things in life. Jean Pierre, in turn, admires Trudy’s boundless energy, her passion for cooking, and the way she made every conversation feel like home. Despite the miles between them , Their connection deepened. And then, in July 2024, they decided it was time to turn their digital love story into reality. The First Meeting: The Bahamas, July 2024 Under the golden sun of the Bahamas, where the sea kissed the shore and the breeze carried whispers of romance, Trudy and Jean Pierre finally met in person. The moment their eyes met, there was no hesitation—just a sense of belonging, as if they had known each other forever. Jean Pierre, ever the adventurer, planned a week filled with fun activities: snorkeling, jet skiing, and even an impromptu island-hopping adventure. Trudy, being the social butterfly, introduced him to new friends, shared stories over delicious meals she cooked with love, and laughed at his playful attempts to dance to reggae beats. It was during a quiet evening walk along the beach, with the moonlight shimmering on the water, that they both knew—this was more than just a summer romance. It was something real, something meant to last. The Proposal: September 2024 By the time September rolled around, Jean Pierre couldn’t imagine life without Trudy. She had brought a light into his life that he never wanted to fade. So, on a surprise trip to New Jersey he planned the perfect proposal. With Trudy’s family and friends gathered at her favorite seaside spot, Jean Pierre got down on one knee as the sun set behind them. “Trudy Ann, from the moment we met, you’ve brought joy, warmth, and laughter into my life. I want to spend forever with you—laughing, exploring, eating all the delicious food you cook, and building a beautiful life together. Will you marry me?” Tears filled Trudy’s eyes as she nodded, her heart overflowing with happiness. “Yes! A thousand times yes!” Cheers erupted, and the night turned into a joyful celebration filled with music, dancing, and, of course, a feast prepared by the Old Causeway steak and lobster restaurant. The Future: A Love Story Continues Now, with their wedding set for July 2025, Trudy and Jean Pierre are counting down the days until they say “I do.” They continue to bridge the miles with video calls, surprise visits, and endless laughter. Jean Pierre is already dreaming of the wedding menu—hoping for a mix of Rwandan and Jamaican flavors—while Trudy is excited about dancing the night away with the love of her life. From an online message to a love that knows no borders, Trudy and Jean Pierre’s journey proves that when two hearts are meant to be, no distance, no culture, and no time can keep them apart. This is just the beginning of their forever. #LoveAcrossOceans #TrudyAndJeanPierre #FromJamaicaToRwandaToForever
