How they met…
This lovely couple’s story began after meeting at a mutual friends birthday party.
The proposal…
Amina gave Joel the best birthday present of all when she said yes to his proposal on his birthday on May 28th of 2020!
After friends and family drove by to wish him a happy birthday, Joel decided to give a speech. So, everyone parked their cars and stood in the couples front yard (social distanced) listening to his thank you speech. At the end of thanking everyone, he dropped to one knee and asked her to marry him!
Moment they knew they were “the one”…
Amina and Joel knew they “were each other’s “one’s” early on” in their relationship.
Amina reflects on those beginning phases with lots of love and gratitude. She says: “When you meet a partner that constantly strived to be the best they can be for their significant other… that’s a great recipe for a great relationship.”
She adds: “We are so blessed because we are that partner for one another.”
The first date…
They kept their first date sweet and simple with dinner and a movie — and they still love going together today!
Amina says: “Our favorite thing to do as a couple is going to the movies.”
Wedding planning experience…
Planning their wedding during a pandemic hasn’t been easy.
Amina admits: “So far wedding planning has been slightly stressful due to the COVID impact.”
Nonetheless, she adds it’s been “…exceptionally exciting as well!”
What they’re looking forward to most on their wedding day…
Amina and Joel “…are both looking forward to committing [themselves] to one another in the presence of God and [their] loved ones.”
