Callie and Nkosi had mutual friends, crossed paths often, and somehow never officially met; but they definitely knew of each other. A little curiosity turned into a little flirting, and before long, Nkosi made the bold (and very smart) decision to slide into Callie’s DMs. One message was all it took. From that moment on, they’ve been inseparable. Callie knew Nkosi was her person during the COVID lockdown when she casually mentioned she needed a workspace that wasn’t her bed. For her birthday, Nkosi surprised Callie with a desk, proof that he listens, cares deeply, and shows up in the most thoughtful ways. Nkosi says he knew Callie was the one on their first official vacation to Denver. Everything about that trip felt easy, natural, and perfectly them. Since then, Callie and Nkosi have spent their time doing what they love most together: shopping, traveling, attending concerts, exploring museums, and searching for the best burgers in every city they visit. Life together is full of laughter, adventure, and shared joy. Nkosi proposed while they were on vacation in Costa Rica, overlooking the beautiful city skyline—an unforgettable moment in one of their favorite places. They can’t wait to celebrate this next chapter with the people they love most.
