Congratulations to them! JoAnn is one of my favorite gospel music singers. May God continue to bless them and use them both for His Glory, always!

Cory Condrey, the Atlanta-based gospel DJ known to listeners from San Diego to Washington as CoCo Brother, is getting married.

Condrey let the news slip, then talked openly about his engagement to gospel singer Joann Rosario of Chicago.

“I’m getting married Dec. 31,” said the radio impresario whose syndicated show, “The Spirit of Hip Hop,” fuses urban sounds with heavenly lyrics.

The two had been orbiting each other for a couple of years, with Rosario working the gospel circuit and Condrey playing her music and even airing an interview with her that his producer had conducted. But they had never met face to face until this year.

She saw Condrey interviewing a mutual friend on a YouTube video and sent him an e-mail, thanking the DJ for his work in promoting good values and the gospel.

Condrey, who answers his e-mails personally, responded.

“He hit me back and said, ‘I’ve heard a lot about you. We need to catch up,’ ” Rosario said.

What happened next, the couple calls divine destiny.

Condrey was on the phone two weeks later with the man he had interviewed on the YouTube video. Rosario’s name came up, and the men rang her in on a conference call.

“And that was it,” Condrey said.

Over the next few weeks, more text messages led to phone conversations, which grew longer and longer as the months progressed. When Rosario came to Atlanta for a concert last July, the two met for dinner and both agreed to continue the relationship.

Condrey went to Chicago to meet Rosario’s family on Labor Day.

Rosario said they plan to live in Atlanta.
