Little did we know at the beginning of 2023 Jehovah was writing Our Love Story. At the time, Upstate New York was a place called “Home” for Demetrius for 9 years & a place Lorena was making her new “Home” to expand her service to Jehovah. We were both busy in our assignments with Jehovah, but I guess sometimes that’s when it happens huh? At a gathering in Beacon, NY, we met, conversed briefly & kept in touch in the coming weeks. Over time, we got to know each other and realized we had many of the same goals and values. Additionally, we both saw beautiful qualities in each other that soon led to the start of our Love Story. After a wonderful day at the DIA Museum, dinner, then dessert at Cold Stone, Demetrius asked Lorena to be his girlfriend. It has been sweet ever since! Who knew a simple “yes” could lead to January 6, 2024 when Demetrius proposed to Lorena asking for her hand in marriage. Now we embark on our greatest journey yet, a lifetime together. We are so excited for what lies ahead! We are greatly looking forward to starting our service at our Bethel “Home” together as a couple in Patterson, NY. We cannot wait to share our special day with you all! With a simple but eloquent “I do” we want you to share in that moment and the moments after as we see where that “I do” leads us on our next adventure. As Jehovah continues to write our Love Story, it is our hopes and prayers we will always allow him to be the Author of our Favorite Story.
