God brought Tia and Dell together at church, but neither of them knew at the time that their shared love for Him and their passion for music would become the stepping stones to their forever. What started as a simple connection quickly grew into something neither of them could have imagined, a friendship rooted in faith, laughter, encouragement, and purpose.

One of their earliest memories together was a phone conversation that lasted all night long. What began as a casual conversation turned into an epic "music war" as they challenged each other song after song, artist after artist, and genre after genre. Dell was completely shocked to discover that Tia was not only passionate about music but also incredibly knowledgeable across every genre imaginable. They were both also shocked to find that they shared the same favorite color, purple and that they were

BOTH HUGE PRINCE FANS!

That six hour phone conversation was the beginning of what would become the foundation of their forever. 

 Tia and Dell are united not only by their love for one another but by our commitment to building God's Kingdom. One of the things they cherish most about their relationship is their ability to serve God together. As a Youth Leader, Tia has dedicated her heart to pouring into the next generation. Dell consistently goes above and beyond to support the ministry, encourage her, and stand beside her in every endeavor. Dell has always supported Tia's visions, encouraging her to pursue every dream God has placed in her heart.

Tia, in turn, has always stood beside Dell, believing in his musical gifts, talents, and calling every step of the way.  Dell is an incredibly gifted and anointed bass player whose talent glorifies God and blesses everyone who hears him play. Tia proudly reminds him every chance she gets that she is, and always will be, his number one supporter, biggest fan, and loudest cheerleader. Together they have learned that love is not just about walking beside one another; it's about helping each other become everything God created them to be.

 One of the things Tia loves most about Dell is his ability to make her laugh. No matter the situation, he somehow knows exactly what to say and exactly what to do to bring a smile to her face. His sense of humor, his playful spirit, his protection and his ability to turn ordinary moments into unforgettable memories are just a few of the many reasons she fell in love with him.

And when life becomes overwhelming, Dell finds comfort in knowing that Tia has a special way of calming his heart and helping him find peace. She knows when to speak encouragement, when to pray, when to offer wisdom, and when to simply sit beside him and remind him that everything will be alright. She makes it her daily goal to create magical moments and fun, life long memories for them.  Through every challenge and every victory, they have become one another's safe place.

Through every conversation, every shared prayer, every dream, every laugh, every long drive and every challenge, God has been writing a story far greater than either of them could have imagined. And this is only the beginning.

From this day forWARD, they choose each other.

From this day forWARD, they will help worship and build God's Kingdom together.

From this day forWARD, they will dream, laugh, and grow together 

From this day forWARD, their forever begins!
