How We Met

... and suddenly all the love songs were about you.

Set the scene: College, a cappella show after-party. One all male group, one all female group. Different schools. Her Take: Well he kept getting in my way all night, but I didn't mind. I even got in his way a few times just to have a reason to give him sass. After playful banter a few times, and I don't know if he remembers this, he grabbed me by the waist and said "I freaking love you!" I laughed it off as a joke, but my thought of "I love you, too" was not. His Take: In the events leading up to the party I experienced her larger than life personality and great sense of humor. So OBVIOUSLY I had to "bump into her" any chance I got. We ran into each other on the dance floor and for a quick moment the funny banter turned flirtatious. I'll never forget the mix of butterflies, nerves, and unexpected confidence I felt that night.

The Proposal Story

September 18, 2019 - A New Beginning

Deshawn and Aiyana had done it. They made the big decision, told their families, and picked the perfect ring. Now all that was left was for Deshawn to propose. He sneakily picked up the ring before their big Arizona trip with plans to propose. The plan was simple: nearing the end of the trip, get her out to a quiet balcony at dinner and pop the question. But the thing about plans is that you need to know when to throw the plan out! A few days before the trip's end, Aiyana and Deshawn went on a bus tour of the gorgeous Mount Lemmon. Deshawn kept the ring on his person everywhere they went just in case, and he was lucky he did. Apart from the two love birds and the driver, Tim, the tour bus was empty. They admired the gorgeous views as they went up the mountain. That's when Deshawn decided to change gears. Today was the day! At the next lookout Deshawn inconspicuously showed Tim the ring and pointed out where he wanted to propose. Aiyana thought the proposal spot was just another place for photos. Little did she know it was the start of the next chapter in their lives.

For all the days along the way
