...Akeem and Alexie ended up at the same Mardi Gras Parades two days in a row. At parade #1, Akeem was more interested in finding a seat and eating some fried chicken than socializing, but at parade #2, he made some time for conversation. They talked a little and laughed a little, and that was that. 2 months later, Akeem moved to New Orleans for good. 3 weeks later, they ran into each other at a coffee shop - they took a trip to Old Navy and Walmart from there, and 4 years later, here we are: it's wedding time.
