Since the start of their relationship, Jonah and Emmi knew they were meant to be together. They both truly believe that God put them together to be life partners and glorify Him in everything that they do, including marriage.

With that being said, the couple dated for almost 5 years before Jonah popped the question.

After deciding Jonah wanted to join the Marine Corps in the summer of 2024, the two started to make plans on what their lives would look like. They both agreed that they wanted to be married sometime soon when Jonah would start his military career.

Fast forward to November 30, 2024…Emmi was under the impression that her family had to run Christmas errands in Bossier City while her, Jonah, and Jonah’s sister, Sarah, were coincidentally going to Starbucks and to eat at Salt Grass. Without giving too many details, Emmi and Jonah were supposed to “take pictures” of them together as a favor for Emmi’s mom.

While at the Boardwalk, Sarah pretended to be taking a picture of them (while actually recording) when Jonah got down on one knee and proposed. Emmi being surprised would be an understatement, especially when their parents and sisters were there to greet them and congratulate them.

It was a very special day that neither of them will ever forget. They can’t wait to start their happily ever after with all of their friends and family by their side!
