On October 27th, 2020, I started a Catholic prayer called a Novena which is a prayer performed daily for 9 consecutive days for the intercession to St. Ann (Mother Mary's mother, through her prayers, she is known to have helped many find a spouse). "Saint Ann, Saint Ann, find me a man" 😄 November 2nd, 2020, I signed up for match.com, and on November 3rd, 2020, I discovered James's profile and decided to message him. After a few message exchanges, James asked me out on a date on November 6th. Two days after the completion of the novena prayer, God sent me the love of my life. The perfect man God had in store for me. ❤

James on one knee and asked me to marry him the day after he asked my parents for my hand. Then he played and serenaded me on the ukulele, I Can't Help Falling in Love with You by Elvis Presley. I asked him at what point in our relationship did he decide he was going to learn and play that song to propose? He said he thought about it after our second date. 😲😭 #whenyouknowyouknow
