Our wedding story started with a bang! Picture this: a tale that began with a quirky twist and a sprinkle of serendipity.

Ever heard the saying, “good things happen when you least expect them”? Well, that was my life—happily cruising along as an independent woman. Little did I know, a random guy I met online turned out to have grown up just a stone’s throw away from me in Jackson, MS. We had mutual friends and somehow managed to never cross paths. (Though I secretly suspect we did, but maybe God was like, "Not yet—she needs more time to mature!")

Two years of enduring long-distance and clocking in seven-hour journeys between Memphis and Dallas would test any relationship. But for us, it only fueled our bond, making it stronger and healthier. Communication and trust were our secret weapons! We became each other’s confidants, navigating through busy schedules and longing for closeness. It wasn’t easy, but here we are—cheers to new beginnings!
