💍 OUR LOVE STORY
“When God writes the story, alignment is effortless.”
We met through PlanNet Marketing in London in September 2023, where something between us clicked instantly — a quiet spark, an easy understanding, a familiarity that neither of us could explain. What began as a natural friendship kept pulling us closer, and by December we found ourselves traveling to Tokyo together, creating memories that made it clear we had something rare.
But timing matters.
Shedrick wasn’t ready to commit, still thinking he had time. Connie’s heart took the hit — and Ben & Jerry’s did its best to pick up the emotional slack — but deep down, she knew our story wasn’t finished. Even from a distance, the connection never fully disappeared. God simply wasn’t done aligning us.
Enjoy Atlanta
