A Divine Union
On February 14, 2023, my therapist suggested that I try online dating through the Upward Dating app. Although I had been against online dating before, I was open to it this time since I had previously found great success with finding quality friends virtually.
Darius, on the other hand, had also been against online dating but was willing to give it a try since he had lost his fiancée to a sudden illness five years prior. We both joined the app around the same time, and it was incredible that we found each other despite living in different cities. I was in Charlotte, NC, and he was in Myrtle Beach, SC.
We connected on the app on February 22, 2023, and we hit it off right away. We knew that this was serious, so we got off the app within 1.5 weeks of connecting. After a series of divine encounters, we quickly discovered that we were meant for each other and got engaged on our 9th month anniversary on 11/22/2023.
Finally, on January 20, 2024, which was also Darius' birthday, we got married in front of our closest friends and family. We want to use our story on Upward to inspire others that anything is possible with the guidance of the Holy Spirit.
Congratulations 🍾
Congratulations, SO happy for you two!
Wishing you both a Lifetime of Love, Laughter and Happiness, always with God Almighty at the Center and Forefront of your Lives, with that, you can never go wrong!
I tragically lost my beloved husband a little over a year ago, so I can definitely appreciate and relate to the fact that your husband went through something like that himself in the tragic passing of his Wife, as well!
I too never even considered dating apps before this and it took over a year to even begin to think about meeting anybody else, because my husband was the love of my life and vice versa!
I even felt guilty at first for definitely over…
Congratulations on your covenant.
Keep God as the foundation, looking forward to the many anniversaries to come.
This has encouraged my heart!! Blessings on your Happily Ever After! Whew God is good!
With God everything is possible, even if someone is from different state or country, if it’s God’s will , he will bring him or her to you. I pray for God’s protection upon your marriage. Always put God first. God bless you .
