December 23rd 2023 the story of Winston and Catherine began. We started sending texts back and forth to get to know each other. Next thing we knew, we were staying up till 2 am talking on the phone and facetiming. On January 6th 2024, we had our first date at Alfredos Italian Restaurant in Clinton, NC. From that night on, we knew we were meant to be together. Our next date was not until January 21, 2024 at a Carolina Hurricane's Hockey game. After another phenominal date, Winston asked Catherine to be his girlfriend that night. March 17th, After crossing the finish line of his Tobacco Road Marathon, Winston grabbed her in his arms and told her that he wanted to marry her. From that moment on we have had many adventures to the beach, Disney World, Universal, and moutains. On March 16th 2025, Winston carried the engagement ring for 26.2 miles during the Tobacco Road Marathon. At the end of the race he told Catherine to meet him at the finish line. He got down on one knee after finishing the race. We are so thankful that God brought us together. We pray that we continue to grow in the love of the Lord and are blessed in many ways.
