We first met in lifegroup at Apex Baptist Church in 2019. Pretty quickly, James was interested in me, but I was busy with ultrasound school and friends, so I kept dodging his attempts to go out with me. After some time, we wound up going our separate ways, but remained friends. Flash forward to summer of 2023, we found ourselves single, and I felt I had missed an opportunity to be with James. I tested the waters to see if there was any chemistry, but ultimately felt like we would just be friends. Come October, we both attended a murder mystery party where, as a total shock to us, our characters wound up married! Once we got past the initial awkwardness and embarrassment, things started to click. Two weeks later, James asked me to go ice skating with him on our first date. As we got to know each other better, we realized our personalities and goals align in ways only God could have orchestrated. James asked me to marry him in September of 2024, and I couldn't have been happier to say yes! We are so excited to celebrate this season with you and thank you in advance for making our love story even more special!
