“Over the past 8 years we have done a lot of trying to operate The Worlds way, and in doing so become so obsessed with the Yes of the people. WHICH tends to push you towards a temporary set back. Feeling like the opinions of our peers out weigh, the Word of our God! One thing that remains consistent about our journey is every time We pursued God, We always ended up pursuing Each other. On December 8th 2024 we said the most important Yes we ever could. Being Baptized together, and publicly declaring our Yes to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ! Which led to the EASIEST YES WE ever said in our lives which is to do the REST OF LIFE TOGETHER! Through Every High and Every Low the Lord remains consistent, and I promise through every high and every low I will remain consistent. I won’t be perfect, I won’t be malicious, I will always be put the way of Yahweh First! We are called to Love our wives like Christ Loved the church, and I can’t wait to keep learning what that means! “Love is Patient, love is Kind. It does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self- seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but Rejoices with truth. It always protects, always hopes, always perseveres.” 1 Corinthians 13:4-7. ???? to LOVE ???? ????????,” Dexter continued in the caption.
Briah shared in the comments, “So grateful to have found my partner in every sense of the word. You are my rock, my safe haven, and my forever home. I’m so excited to start this new chapter with you, babe! Here’s to forever and always! To a lifetime of adventure, growth, and making memories together. To a love that’s rooted in faith, hope, and trust. I love you, now and forever! ❤️”
The now engaged couple kept their relationship private until summer 2024 when they started going public and sharing photos and videos on their social media.
They made their red carpet debut together in June at the MPTF NextGen Annual Summer Party, which you can see their photo in the gallery, with the blue backdrop and red carpet.
Since then, they have made several other appearances over the past six months.
Congratulations to the happy couple!!
