The first time Zella and Walter fell in love, they were just teenagers—two souls finding comfort in each other in the middle of their busy inner-city high school. Their love was young, deep, and full of promise. But life pulled them in different directions. When Walter transferred to another school, they tried to hold on. But as time passed, so did their connection. No harsh goodbye, no dramatic ending—just a quiet fading, like the setting sun. They moved on, believing their story had ended. Years passed. They built separate lives. Different relationships, different dreams. But God had other plans. In 2019, Zella’s phone lit up with an unexpected message. "Happy Belated," on the day after her birthday. It was Walter. What started as a simple conversation turned into something undeniable. The connection was still there, but this time, they were different people—wiser, more experienced, and carrying the weight of past hurts. Their journey back to each other wasn’t easy. There were moments of hesitation, times when fear and doubt crept in. They questioned if love alone was enough. But love had never been just their own doing. It was God’s hand, weaving their paths back together, guiding them through the struggles, teaching them patience, trust, and faith. Through every moment of uncertainty, God whispered, “If I have brought you back together, will you trust Me to sustain you?” And so, they did. When Walter held out a ring, it wasn’t a promise of a perfect future—it was a promise to walk together in faith, to choose love every day, to put God at the center of it all. "We are here because of Him. And with Him, we will never lose our way again." This time, Zella said yes—knowing that what God restores, no one can break. They said “I do” on August 9, 2023. Now they’re ready to celebrate their union, embracing the truth that Marriage is a gift - one that requires effort, love, patience and faith. It’s a daily choice to stand by each other through every joy and challenge, with God lighting the path.
