We met serendipitously online, and instantly felt a connection on our first date. Persia's initial thought was "could this be the person I've been searching for?"

With time, our love flourished and developed into a bond that will continue to grow even stronger as time goes on.

On May 1, 2021, at the Grove Park Inn in Asheville, Ray proposed on the Sunset Terrace in front of a panoramic view of the mountain valley below. Every detail of this day will forever remain in our memories. We now anticipate the day we get married and will be delighted to have you all with us!
