Me and Eli’s story began at Victory Baptist Church in the beginning of 2021. We passed each other many times during church and Russellville High School but never talked to each other until Eli messaged me on February 14. We had our first date at Tropical Smoothie and learned our loved for God and our families. I was 16 while Eli was 17, we both didn’t know what we wanted to do with our lives but knew that God had a plan for us. We spent many days together and started dating on April 2, 2021. Eli asked me to marry him on March 15, 2024, and that was the happiest day of our lives.
