Our story is one of second chances, deep connections, and the unwavering support of a chosen family. Three years ago, we found each other in addiction recovery, both carrying the weight of past heartaches. I was a widow, and he was divorced. In the rooms of recovery, we built a friendship that blossomed into love, guided by our faith in God. Our shared experiences created a bond that was both tender and strong. Though we faced challenges and even parted ways for a time, our hearts drew us back together, stronger and more committed than ever. Now, as we prepare to say, "I do," we celebrate not only our love but also the incredible community that has lifted us. Our recovery support family and amazing friends have been our rocks, cheering us on every step of the way. We are blessed to have you all in our lives, and we thank God for bringing us together as we embark on this new chapter.
