Raquel & Jonathan

Our Story

Our story began uniquely – at a fire eating class! From that fiery start, our connection deepened through the trust and balance of acro yoga. We discovered the joy of nurturing growth together while planting our first garden and supported each other unconditionally through our college years. A truly unforgettable moment came with our engagement in the hallowed halls of St. Peter's Basilica. Our spiritual journey found a home and continued to blossom at St. Anne's Episcopal Church here in Tifton, shaping us as individuals and as a couple.
