❤️After being introduced at a church through a mutual friend (Sheronne Byrd-Milton) in 2007, Rashon and Shanta’ had a connection neither one of them could explain. They dated for a few weeks and for reasons neither one of them can agree on, they continued on as just friends. Rashon and Shanta’ knew the connection they experienced had a lot of potential to grow into much more. Because of this, they would go on dates from time to time over the years (both being afraid to fully give in). In 2009, they were in the Milton’s wedding as one of the Maid of Honors and one of the Best Men. During this time they were still friends but knew having these roles would bring up some covered feelings, so they asked to be escorted by other people who held the same role. Years went by and some distance grew between Shanta’ and Rashon but he always remained consistent by making sure Shanta’ didn’t forget about him! Not a birthday, a holiday, or any important day went by on the calendar that he didn’t send her a text! Just as he wanted, these texts made Shanta’ smile on the inside and she would always wonder..... what if?! After being friends for over 12 years and a LONG conversation in the sanctuary at church, Shanta’ and Rashon finally let God lead and were no longer each other’s what if! God knew what He was doing when Rashon and Shanta’ met many years ago. He knew that on Aug. 5, 2021, they would be friends but not only just friends, friends who fell in love and would be getting married when He said the time was right!❤️
