We first re-acquainted ourselves in the line at Chick-Fil-A after a chance run in with her sister a few weeks before. Although the conversation wasn’t as long as either of us would have liked, it wasn’t too long before I received a message from her cousin. She informed me that Jenna was interested in seeing me again and gave me her phone number. I thought about it for a few days and decided there was no downside to seeing where it would go. At our first date I was very confident that this would be a long and fruitful relationship. I immediately felt more comfortable in her presence than I ever thought possible. I felt like I could talk to her about anything and rely on her for whatever I would need. It wasnt much longer that I knew I wanted this to last a life time. Six months after starting our journey, I solidified my love for Jenna by proposing and asking her to be with me for the rest of my life. Now, I eagerly wait to start the next chapter of our lives with her by my side.

I honestly would have never expected to marry someone from high school. The first time I saw Benjamin was in July of 2022 while he was hard at work delivering the Lord’s chicken (chick-fil-a). I was taken aback because he was so handsome and kind, and was someone from my past that I was actually interested in reconnecting with. When I drove up to the CFA window and he handed me my order, I mustered up the courage to reintroduce myself and said how I would love to connect. If you know me, you know that I am not one to put myself out there, but everything felt right in the moment and I thought the worst thing that he could have said was that he was already taken! We planned a coffee date and were official just a few weeks after…two months later, he told me he loved me and we both knew we wanted to spend the rest of our lives with each other. Before I met Ben, I didn’t know what the true meaning of (romantic) love meant, or if I would ever experience it myself. During that self-reflective time, I chose to lean in to God’s plan for my life by being in constant prayer - not just for myself but for my future partner as well. Looking back, I am certain that God was preparing me to be a wife; and in His timing, He led me to Ben. Since then, He has affirmed our relationship in so many ways and through so many confirmations, it is truly incredible! Ben, I have never felt more reassured, loved (mind you, a genuine and compassionate love), chosen, heard, supported, and cared for, before you. Thank you. You have become my best friend, confidant, soul mate…the apple of my eye, the lime to my coke zero, my missing puzzle piece. I cannot wait to share the rest of my life with you babe. Now let’s get married!!
