Our love story began at Livingstone College, where fate intertwined our paths and stitched our hearts together with invisible threads of friendship. From the moment we met, our dreams of entrepreneurial success kindled a fire within us, drawing us closer with shared aspirations and mutual admiration.

It felt truly enchanting to witness the very dreams we once shared in college materialize into our reality. What began as a professional endeavor gradually transformed into something deeply personal, and on this very day, (April 20th, 2014) a decade ago, we took the leap and officially started dating.

One of our first dates was in Central Park. We found solace in each other's company, reflecting on our past adventures and envisioning our future aspirations. Taking these long walks in the park became our thing. Still to this day, that's one of our favorite things to do together.

As our relationship deepened, we embarked on the incredible journey of starting a family. Our hearts swelled with joy when we welcomed our firstborn baby girl, Sydney, into the world. And just when we thought our love couldn't grow any stronger, our family expanded once more with the arrival of our precious second daughter, Synara. They are, without a doubt, the most beautiful and fulfilling accomplishments we've ever achieved together.

Now, as April 20th, 2024 approaches, we're filled with excitement and anticipation as we prepare to embark on our next chapter as husband and wife. Becoming Mr. and Mrs. Isaac Konadu marks the culmination of our love story, a testament to the enduring bond we share and the countless blessings life has bestowed upon us.

** The picture above was a gift Isaac gave to me in the early years of our relationship. If you look closely you can see that he drew our names inside the heart, which reads Jewel and Izzy followed by a quote that says "The biggest thing we share is our hearts"

By far, one of my favorite gifts he has given me. <3
