Our Love Story
Our Story: His Timing
They say first impressions are everything, but for Del and Angéle, the start was less than ideal. When a mutual friend intentionally set them up, neither heard wedding bells. Del walked away convinced Angéle was a bit too “bougie” while Angéle was certain Del was far too rigid to be fun. In short: it was a swing and a miss.
About a year later, God provided another “window of opportunity,” and they were wise enough to finally open it. Their second “first date” was a total shift in perspective. They discovered those initial judgments were actually misread strengths: Angéle didn’t just appreciate “fine things,” she had a refined eye for beauty and quality; Del wasn’t rigid, he was simply a man of intense focus and ambition.
As they talked, they found a string of commonalities that felt less like luck and more like a decades-long pursuit by fate. Looking back, it is clear they needed that year apart to grow into the individuals they are today. They did the “work” separately so that when they finally came together, they were perfectly aligned with His will.
Though both spent years being fiercely independent, they realized their lives were infinitely richer when woven together. Their journey has been slow, steady, and intentional—a testament that love is the patient, kind, and enduring foundation described in 1 Corinthians 13:4.
They can’t wait to start this next chapter of their beautiful, slightly delayed, but perfectly timed story with all of you.
