Our story is a testament to the hands of God upon our lives.

Born continents apart, Eric and Glory found each other at Oxford College of Emory University. Though their friendship began on the basketball court, it evolved into something greater as they discovered they shared the same faith. Eric and Glory grew up in the church as PKs and bonded over the similarities of their experiences. But before any romantic involvement, Eric's father unknowingly prophesied into their lives, addressing Glory as his daughter-in-law without any awareness.

After several months of friendship, Eric finally gathered the courage to ask Glory on their first date. After one month of dating, Eric asked Glory to be his girlfriend on March 16, 2019. The couple dated for three years learning more about each other and discussing their goals, dreams, and passions. During that time they took their first vacation together to Tulum, Mexico, and upon their return, the COVID-19 pandemic forced a three-month separation.

In May 2020, Glory graduated virtually with a bachelor's degree from Emory University, and took a gap year teaching in the Atlanta Public Schools system. At that time, Eric was completing his final year at Emory University pursuing a degree in African American Studies and Political Science. Eric graduated from Emory University with his bachelor's degree in May 2021 and then took a gap year.

Following his gap year, Eric was accepted into Law school at Drake University in Des Moines, Iowa. Before leaving for Law school, Eric decided to surprise Glory with a dinner which she thought was a celebration of Eric's Law school departure. At the dinner, Eric dropped down on one knee and proposed to Glory asking her to be his wife. She said, "YES!", signifying a life-changing moment in their journey.
