Just Engaged: Christina and Jeremy

Just Engaged: Christina and Jeremy
By · January 10, 2012October 28, 2020
01
Worth the Wait

Christina and Jeremy met in high school while growing up in Mobile, AL, went to college in neighboring cities, and had many mutual friends, but didn’t make a love connection until well after graduation.

A Chance Encounter

After bumping into each other at a college party, Christina almost passed on reconnecting with her soon-to-be Prince Charming. “I had heard that he was a ‘ladies man,’ so I had my reservations,” recalls Christina. Ladies, this only proves, you can’t always judge a book by its cover.

Never Let Go

“When I reconnected with Christina after college, I thought to myself, ‘This time I’m not going to let her slip away,’” says Jeremy about his nightclub run-in with his wife-to-be. This time his efforts proved successful and Christina slowly began to give into his charms.

Perfect Pair

“I knew Christina was ‘The One’ after our first phone conversation while we were in college. She has the most amazing sense of humor and personality,” says Jeremy of his beaming bride-to-be.

Surprise, Surprise

For his romantic proposal, Jeremy staged a birthday party for a family friend. When the pair arrived at the party, Jeremy led Christina into a room full of her family and friends, got on one knee and proposed while the pair was serenaded. “It was like time stood still,” recalls Christina.

Together At Last

During their first year of dating, Christina and Jeremy lived two and a half hours apart. “After much prayer and never giving up, Jeremy landed a great job in the city where I lived. It taught us to never settle for anything less than what God has in store for us,” says Christina.

Heaven Sent

“One month after our first date, I opened up my journal and read a list I made two years prior of 20 things I wanted in a mate,” Christina reveals. “Jeremy had ALL 20 attributes!”

Dream Come True

“Our engagement has been so exciting. Going to tastings, beginning marital counseling, and taking our engagement photos has been great. But the most exciting part is anticipating the big day when we will officially become Mr. and Mrs. York,” says Christina.

Take Me Higher

“I can’t wait to walk down the aisle into the arms of the most special person I have ever met,” says Christina of her loving fiance.
