Our Wedding

"THEREFORE WHAT GOD HAS JOINED TOGETHER, LET NO MAN SEPARATE.” MARK 10:9

OUR LOVE JOURNEY

It all started... randomly. Like really randomly. One day, out of the blue, we found ourselves chatting on Facebook. No mutual friends, no prior connections just two strangers talking about God (yes, our first conversation was basically a spiritual podcast episode). But somehow, it just clicked. From Facebook Messenger, we moved to WhatsApp sounds normal, right? Except I Solange, being the careful (and slightly mysterious) woman that I am, used my stepdad’s phone number to create the account. Meanwhile, Orville was out here trying to figure out if he was being catfished. Spoiler: he definitely thought he was. Our first time meeting in person? Legendary. Orville came over to my mom’s house to help with some construction work (ladies, find you a man who can fix things and prays). The moment I opened the door, he looked at me wide-eyed and said, “WOW, you're actually real! I’m not being catfished!” 😂 That line pretty much set the tone for everything that followed honest, lighthearted, and full of unexpected joy. After confirming I wasn’t an internet illusion, Orville asked me out on a proper date. He planned everything and took me to Salo Bar &amp; Grill. The food? Amazing. The ambiance? Perfect. The vibe? Unmatched. We laughed, talked for hours, and somewhere between appetizers and dessert, we knew this was something different. Fast forward a year, and here we are, getting ready to say “I DO.” From random DMs to wedding VOWs, it's been a journey rooted in faith, filled with laughter, and guided by love. We’re so grateful to God (and the internet, honestly) for bringing us together. We can’t wait to celebrate this next chapter with all of you. With love,Solange &amp; Orville
