our adventure Starts here

We met through our families. When I was younger, my father married a woman named Marylin. She was and is a Godsend! After divorcing my father and spending several years working to raise three children that were not biologically hers, Marylin met a man named Michael Brown. A few years after meeting, Marylin and Michael were married. Darius, my sweet and handsome fiance, is Michael's middle son. We play it off as a joke about being from Alabama, but there is no funny business. We're just two people that happened to meet under strange circumstances. One night, after a particularly rough period in my life, Darius offered to come pick me up because, "I could use a friend." He took me downtown to Dahlia's, a bar with dueling pianos, where we had a blast! From that point on our friendship grew until we were inseparable. Wherever you found one of us, you would find the other. After about a year, we noticed that things between us were different. we no longer wanted to be just friends. The rest is history!
