Rewind the clock 3 years back to August of 2021...

Morgan had just packed up her things & moved to Jacksonville to attend Trinity Baptist College, and Wesley was attending church at Trinity Baptist Church. They had both graduated from high school in May and were praying about what next steps to take after graduation! Morgan was led to attend Trinity, and Wesley jumped into working construction. Meanwhile each week they attended Rooted Trinity's college-aged young adult ministry on Wednesday nights. After a few months of attending and seeing each other in passing, Wesley approached Morgan after the service and introduced himself to her and her friends. He asked if she would attend the high school football game with her the following Friday, and that was the start of their story!

From then they went on their first official date to Cracker Barrel, followed by a visit to the Clay County Fair. As time went on they each learned more about each other, and built their friendship!

Fast forward to December 7th, 2021 when Wesley asked Morgan to go to the Night of Lights in St. Augustine. While there, they made it official and started dating! December 7th was a Tuesday and that weekend Morgan had planned to head home for Christmas break. She thought she was saying goodbye to Wesley for the next 4-5 weeks, but to her surprise, that Saturday morning Wesley had driven down early to meet Morgan and her family for breakfast at one of their favorite restaurants. After she sat down at their table Wesley came out and told her he drove down to visit for the day. Which was the start of many exciting surprise visits to come. Wesley got to meet Morgan's family that day and spend the day Christmas shopping! They ended the day at one of their favorite spots! Hudson Beach ice cream, before he drove home.

Over the next 2 years, Wesley and Morgan had so many fun memories together at the college, and the church & ultimately building their friendship with each other. As the summer came they started the long-distance portion of their relationship and Wesley's visits to see Morgan consisted of many beach days/ice cream runs!

As time went on they were able to celebrate 1 year, 2 years and so many fun moments in between!

Some highlights of their relationship include......

The mission trip they attended to Trinidad in June of 2023, where they got to see and experience God's love on display in a different way than they ever had before.

The chance to fly in a small 2-passenger plane in Gainesville over the Ben Griffin Hill Stadium!

And another would be the cruise they took in the spring of 2024 with Morgan's family to the Bahamas! They were able to snorkel, watch some live shows, and take in so much of God's beautiful creation!

The next chapter in their relationship though, started on 3.08.24 when Wesley popped the question; surrounded by family and friends in Memorial Park! Wesley planned the sweetest proposal with a photo set up, lit up signs asking Morgan to marry him, and even had a photographer there to capture all the details!

After the proposal, they celebrated over dinner with everyone and took in this sweet new season. The next day Wesley and his family had coordinated a surprise engagement party for Morgan, inviting close friends and family to celebrate the big day! It was such a sweet day, filled with the people they loved and celebrating God's goodness in their lives!

And that brings us to now! Where the couple is planning/ preparing for the big day to come! Wesley & Morgan are taking in the sweetness of this season while preparing for the big life change they will experience soon! They are so excited to celebrate with you all so soon!
