Our Wedding

To fully understand our story, I would have to take you back to the very beginning. The first first time we met. It all started at a conference in Port Arthur, Tx. I was freshly 16 yrs old, and I had been going to the PA conference since I was in the youth group, but it was his first time at this meeting. So, naturally he had to scope out the girls. The second night of meeting came, and he came up to me and introduced himself. I thought it was charming how bold he was, until he asked me if I knew this girl he had his eye on…. Yeah, should’ve been a real deal breaker then.Fast forward two whole years, and both of us had met somebody at the Port Arthur Conference that year. Three months later, it’s now the Committed conference in Highlands, Tx. By this point, every time I see him at meetings I know which area to avoid. Each time service ends, our youth group goes out and for some reason he just has to be there with us. Particularly, we are at Chick-fil-a and I’m at the very opposite end of the table and he keeps staring at me. Let’s just say I was not too fond of him, and gave him a terrible side eye. This whole time I do my best to avoid him. A day goes by and now we are at the last day of the conference. After the morning service, our youth group decides to go to Canes. I decide to ride with my mom, and evidently, we get stopped by a train. By the time we get to Canes, our youth group along with Clayton are almost done eating and there is no chair open for me to sit. To my great dismay, a youth guy gets up, and a singular chair is open. Of course, you already know where. Across from me are two of my youth girls, which I am trying very hard to focus on because the guy next to me keeps trying to get my attention. Eventually, I turn to him and say “what do you want?” In a not so kind manner. The next thing I know we’ve been talking for an hour in a conversation that came more easily than any I’ve ever had with a guy. It almost seemed too good to be true.Based on what little I knew about him, I had the assumption that he would just talk and drop and move on. However, I found myself talking to him before the service, and all through the night. As in 4am!! I vividly remember us walking around and him turning to me and asking “Do you like me?” To which I replied sarcastically, “No, of course not”. Which I found very funny, because I wouldn’t have been following him around for the past few hours if I hadn’t liked him. At the end of the night he hung to the car begging my mom to let me stay longer. Then he asked the question I had been waiting for: he asked me if he could call my pastor to get my number!!Three unbearably long weeks go by and I got the first call!! Love came very quickly, he got down on one knee August 31st, 2025. Starting off with something close to aversion and transitioning into a love deeper than what I could have ever imagined to be possible, and now we are headed towards our new dream together. We hope that you will join us for this next adventure.🤍🎉

🤍✨Our story✨🤍

So it all started unbeknownst to me at a PA conference 3 years ago. I had walked up to this girl to ask her if she knew this girl I had my eye on. I don’t remember who I had asked but Zariah tells me that it was her. So yeah…. Bad start. 2 years later I met someone else at the same meeting and was goin to the highlands meeting to see what would happen. Well that was a dud so I had decided to just enjoy myself and not worry about talkin to girls. Then the second day at Chick-fil-a I noticed this really pretty girl and she caught me staring and glared at me. I decided that she obviously didn’t like me so I didn’t try to talk to her that second day, but I kept stealing looks at her throughout the day and night. That last day after the first service we went to canes and she wasn’t there. So I just talked to my friends and hung out with everyone. About 45 minutes later she walked in and one of my friends had Just gotten up to go so she came and sat next to me. It was perfect. At first all I got was ignored and the cold shoulder. After about ten minutes she warmed up a bit and she finally started talkin to me. After that it was full steam ahead and we talked for about an hour straight. I was definitely interested but I wasn’t sure if she was just bein nice or not. Right before church I got the scoop from her friend who told me that she was interested so I kept talkin to her. After service was over we talked and talked and it just kept gettin better. At the gym was where the sparks really flew and I finally asked her if she liked me or not to which she said “No of course not” so of course I was crushed until she said “duh I like you” at about 3:30 in the morning I asked her if I could talk to her pastor about gettin her number and she said yes so that’s exactly what I did, and about a year later on August 31 2025 I asked her to marry me and she said yes!!!!! Now the final agonizing wait until the big day!!!!
