Our Story

Picture of Our Story

We met for the first time on December 31st, 2019, at the watch night service at New Hope Baptist Church. Zhavi mime danced that night. We got to know each other later when we both joined Humble Cry Ministries. We started dating on June 17th, 2021. Since then we have become best friends, and we are very excited to build our lives together!


Some of our favorite memories together include creating and performing mime dances together, homecomings, prom, meeting each other’s family, going on our first cruise, traveling together, ring shopping, taking our dogs for ice cream, our first date, our first holidays together, attending Right Track to Forever, and our engagement day.


Some things we are excited for in our future lives together are growing closer to God individually and together, purchasing our first home, finishing our degree programs, going on a honeymoon, growing businesses, getting healthier, starting a family, and building our lives together.
