The pureness in her heart and soul is just one the many qualities that make this girl so incredible. I am beyond blessed and grateful for God bringing this woman into my life, and I pray that she is by my side for years to come.”
J.J. and Katya announced their engagement back in January 2024. “Me, You & Marley Forever & Ever✨🤍,” they wrote in their announcement, alongside a photo of their puppy Marley!
