Our Wedding

Our love story actually started about 12 years ago. We met on a "Sunday Funday" out watching football. We had never seen each other or met before. Brian walked up to me and asked to buy me a beer. He won my heart right then and there handing me that ice cold beer! Haha. I'm just joking. I did, however, think that he was the most handsome guy I had ever seen. We dated a little bit, but the timing wasn't right for us. Even though we both had strong feelings for one another, God had a different plan for the time being. We went our separate ways for many years. We both dated other people, but neither one of us had met our person. In March of 2021, I moved back to my hometown in Portsmouth. After being back home for about a month or so, I decided to reach out to him and ask if he wanted to get dinner one night. I prayed he wouldn't decline my invite. Thankfully he did not. Ever since that date, Brian and I have pretty much been inseparable! Those strong feelings we had all those years ago never really went away and have gotten even stronger with each passing day. God decided that it was finally our time and brought us back together for good &lt;3&lt;3
