Our Wedding

[Summer’s POV] Once upon a time, there was a girl and a boy who loved to play basketball. The end. Just kidding... just kidding... but seriously, that's where this story starts. On January 23rd of 2022, I came to basketball at the Crossing's gym completely oblivious that I was going to meet my match in basketball and in life. Of course, when Jayson walked in, I obviously was attracted to him, but I was levelheaded about it at the time. When we paired off in teams, we ended up on the same one and I was very impressed by his court awareness and attitude. He was humble and a great point guard to play with. He made things happen on the court. I ended up going home that day to talk to Rachel (best friend) and brag on Jayson's basketball skills. She then proceeded to tell me she thought he was in relationship. OF COURSE, I thought to myself... this is my luck. It was a good thing too because I was still levelheaded because of the prayers I had been praying. I had asked God that he would keep me from dating anyone else until the one came along that I was meant to marry. The following week was a little disappointing because Jayson was not at basketball. I'm not going to lie; I was looking forward to playing with him again. Luckily, he was there the following Sunday, and I was excited to see him. We both walked on the court first and he turned to ask my name again... and I did the same... (we both definitely knew each other’s names at this point). After playing that day, we starting chatting on the side of the court and walked out together. I thought there was something there but didn't want to mistake kindness for interest. So, I went home to Rachel and told her about it. Naturally, she asks her sister who goes to the same church as Jayson if he in fact was in a relationship. HE WASN'T. This is the good part because Rachel (since she knew him) went and followed him on Facebook and did the other research...the typical best friend private investigator stuff... casual, you know? I was going to friend him at that moment, but I didn't want it to be obvious that we were talking about him. It was a good thing too because within an hour or two of the friend request by Rachel, Jayson messages her and says "Hey Rachel! Is your friend Summer single? I was just curious haha" Que the most dramatic part of this story... she screams from her room... and I proceed to stumble in with a tooth brush in my mouth thinking she is actually dying... when in reality... it was a message from Jayson. Then I started jumping for joy and screaming "REALLY?" at the top of my lungs. I proceed to tell Rachel “Single as a pringle!" We started dating that week after basketball and made things official on February 20th. Our first date was a Thunder basketball game and our second was making pizza together. We have been making food together, hanging out with family and friends, listening to so much music, debating on who would win in literally every game we play, and discussing how happy we are that God placed us in each other’s lives.&nbsp; He exceeds any hopes I have ever had and fulfills ones I didn't know I wanted. He takes loving me like the Lord demands seriously and makes me want to be better in every way. We make a great team and I'm overjoyed that we get to take care of each other.&nbsp;
