"We met in college, realized that love does not consist merely of gazing at each other but looking outward together in the same direction with God leading and the rest was history.."

The first time I laid eyes on Antonio was the first semester of our undergraduate year at the University of West Georgia. I remember thinking he was attractive but vowing not to be the first one to say anything. A few casual conversations led to studying together after class. As the semesters went by and we both transferred to different schools we remained friends that kept in contact occassionally. One day out of the blue a couple years later, Antonio called me to see how I was doing. After some casual conversation, he finally worked up the nerve to ask me out. On the day of our first date I became ill but decided to go along with the date anyways. I arrived for our date in a sweatshirt and sneakers while he was all dressed up! Needless to say, the date went well, he called me for a second date, and the rest is history. That first date gave me a preview of his kind and compassionate heart, which is one of the reasons that I feel in love with him. I can't wait to become Antonio's wife and I hope that you all will join us in celebrating our union.
After months of dating this amazing funny man, I knew he's the one. He caught me off guard when he popped the question at the strangest of all places (a goat ranch!) while doing the most unromantic thing (milking a goat!) and I said yes to my cheesy man :)
Please join me and John in our celebration and share our joyful day in a blessed union. Reception dinner and dance will follow after the ceremony.

When I first saw Shenika, I thought she was this quiet, beautiful girl who I would see during my math class in college. It wasn't until one day prior to class that I saw Shenika in the hall way and decided to speak. It was intriguing that our interest in each other was mutual, we went on various dates that consisted of our knowledge of songs along with an occasional dance to a song. When the semester ended Shenika decided to transfer to another University. After her transfer our communication decreased, but we would occasionally keep in touch with one another. During this time for some reason I couldn't stop thinking about her. It wasn't until six years ago I decided to call Shenika and ask her out. Upon seeing her I fell helplessly for this beautiful woman who's eyes alone could stop a war. Thus after a few years of dating I decided to pop the question.
We hope that you can join us for this great, blessed, and sincere moment in our lives and share our blessed union.
