The DAY I Found LOVE

Adrian and Ayana’s journey began at Paramount Schools of Excellence, where they met as passionate educators. During the early days of their teaching careers, Ayana served as Adrian’s peer mentor, never expecting that a year later, their connection would blossom into something more. Towards the end of the COVID-19 pandemic, they began dating—and from that point on, they were inseparable. Their love story started not just with each other, but also with their beloved dog, Bella, who became their first “baby” and held a special place in their hearts. Since then, their little family has grown to include two more furry companions, Benji and Blaze, who bring them endless joy and laughter. On December 20th, 2024, surrounded by loved ones at a surprise party, Adrian asked Ayana to marry him—and she gave the happiest, most emotional “YES” of her life! The date was extra meaningful, falling right between Ayana’s birthday (December 19th) and Adrian’s (December 21st). What once was a dream to make that time of year special has now become a beautiful reality. They are so excited to celebrate this next chapter with you—and can’t wait to share their special day with all the people they love most.
