I attended Relevant Life Church for about five years and was involved in serving in the youth group there, which is where I found a good group of friends. Brooklynn (bridesmaid) and Zane (groomsman) were part of the youth group, and soon became some of my good friends, so we would sit together in church.

I started to notice a cute singer on stage leading worship. I knew it was Zane’s cousin but didn’t know much about him. Eventually, the cute singer (Isaiah), started to join our group after church to talk to us. Immediately, I was intrigued as he started giving me a hard time right away. As the weeks continued, we kept talking to each other after church each Sunday.

In late December, there was a young adults group night at our church, which we both attended (separately). That night, Isaiah called me out for not adding him back on Snapchat. I told him I didn’t even know his full name, so I didn’t realize it was him. We then started to snapchat JUST AS FRIENDS for a couple months, just getting to know each other. Our whole friend group would attend church worship nights, go bowling, and serve in youth group together.

One night, our group had planned to go bowling and Isaiah asked me if I wanted to get dinner with him beforehand. I started to have feelings at this point but didn’t know if getting dinner was just something nice, Christian boys did as friends, so I didn’t want to get my hopes up. He paid for my meal, but I was still unsure what it meant. The next week, I asked him to get ice cream before a youth group meeting, still not knowing if we were just friends or if he was interested in me.

Eventually one night in February of 2023, I decided to tell Isaiah that I liked him before he mentioned anything about liking me (he was scared of what I would say). He told me he liked me back (WAHOO) and the rest is history… or still present as that was only a year ago and now, we are getting MARRIED!!!!
