Our Story
Love is patient, love is kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful (1 Corinthians 13:4-5). Scriptures like these are commonly shared at weddings, anniversaries and other moments dedicated to expressing love for one another. As a Christian couple, Trevon Jones and Janiya Winchester are encouraged by scriptures like Corinthians 13 and Ephesians 5 as they prepare for their wedding ceremony, set for Saturday, January 6 of next year.
The young couple, both 25 and originally from North Carolina, met at East Carolina University in Greenville, NC. Trevon was born in Rocky Mount and spent most of his teenage years in Greensboro while Janiya was born and raised in the Queen City. In college, they ran in similar circles before officially crossing paths to join a co-ed business organization. From that point on, the two would occasionally bump into each other on campus and talk about God, life and their love for making youtube content. Their casual conversations would quickly turn into captivating discussions about identity, obedience to God, life as a Christian in college and more.
During the unprecedented half-way point of quarantine, Trevon started reaching out to reconnect with Janiya. The butterflies began to take flight. The 25-year-olds said their reconnecting always felt like it picked up right where they left off talking about God, life and learning as much as they could about each other. Their first date around Charlotte foreshadowed their future date traditions starting with a morning walk around Rankin Lake in Gastonia, scooters around downtown Charlotte and a bonfire at the now bestman’s home in Greensboro to end the evening.
Fun dates on the weekend and constant facetime calls became a normal song and dance for them which naturally prompted Trevon to move to Charlotte with wedding plans in mind. The two continued the same rhythm of getting to know one another and got engaged on December 30, 2022. They wish to spend their big day sharing their 'I do's' with their loved ones present Saturday, January 6th, 2024.
