We met during college, during a very unfortunate time (Covid). We had just finished packing up the little lives we were building separately, and headed home. During Covid’s beginning, there was a lot of online communication and people were able to meet friends of friends at a faster rate. My friend, who is also one of the bridesmaids (Zakia), was the person that introduced me to Jeremy! We started talking for hours and hours on the phone every day. One day, my mom actually came in and asked who I was always on the phone with and I was so nervous to say because we WERE always on the phone and I had never liked a boy this much. When I was able to, I got on the first plane back to New Orleans, and we were able to meet in person (again). For our first date, we went to Waffle House. I know, very practical and it was great. We ended the date at City Park, and since then, we’ve had adventures with each other big and small. Fast forward to now, we graduated from Xavier University of Louisiana and are starting the rest of our lives together. We are extremely blessed to have God on our side and in our corner. To our friends and family, we thank you for your continuous support and love. You all have played a tremendous role in our journey —from your advice to your hugs. Our love story is better because of your guidance and support.
