It all started in high school, where we crossed paths and formed a friendship that stayed with us through the years. Though life took us in different directions after graduation, fate had other plans. After college, our connection reignited, and what began as a friendship blossomed into a love story filled with laughter, support, and unforgettable memories. We are each other’s best friends always finding joy in the simplest moments and lifting each other up through life’s adventures. On July 4th, 2024, during an intimate celebration with family and friends, Darius got down on one knee and asked Bernotide to spend forever with him. Surrounded by love and joy, it was a moment we’ll cherish forever, a perfect start to our next chapter. We can’t wait to celebrate our love story with all of you!
