Our story began on September 27, 2023, at a Bible study. What started as a simple introduction quickly turned into something special. Two weeks later, we went on our first date, and just two weeks after that, we made it official—starting a journey filled with love, faith, and adventure.

With Rayann’s life in the skies as a flight attendant and my work as an engineer, we cherish every moment we get to spend together. Weekday evenings have become some of our favorite times—cooking meals side by side and gathering with friends for food, games, and community. Whenever we get a weekend off, we love going on adventures, whether it’s camping under the stars, hiking a new trail, or exploring a new place. When we can, we make trips to South Carolina to visit Rayann’s family and to North Carolina to spend time with her grandfather.

Rayann is an avid dancer and often (lovingly) drags me onto the dance floor, despite my less-than-graceful moves. She’s also introduced me to Broadway musicals, which has led to so many fun and memorable dates.

But more than anything, our relationship is built on our shared love for Jesus. Attending church together has been one of the greatest blessings in our journey, strengthening our faith and deepening our love for each other. We seek to keep Him at the center of our relationship and pray that He continues to guide us and grow our love each day.

From that first Bible study to where we are now, our love has only grown stronger, and we can’t wait to see what God has in store for our future together!
