Becoming Cofield

Everyone always asks "how did you two meet!!??" The story is not as dramatic, rom-com as one may expect. We met in English 101 on the campus of the National Treasure, Morgan State University, in 2005. Shaunna spoke first and then we realized we both had already spent the past 2 weeks together in band camp (d'oh!). Eventually we realized we had very similar backgrounds growing up which led us to Morgan and we INSTANTLY became inseparable! The End. Just kidding. That was just the start of our friendship that would go from library study groups to occasionally lending relationship advice, exchanging playlists and CDs and oh, road trips. Can't forget the road trips! In our early 20 somethings, annoyed with the current state of our miserable dating lives, we made a random pact that if we were both still single by the time we were 30, we would get married. But distance would grow between us and a few years would pass before catching up with an old friend would turn into a first date at a now closed pizza joint (or was it that terrible Tom Cruise movie??). Then that turned into lunch dates, and more movie dates, and meeting friends and then family and then.... I love you (I love you too!)....which turned into sharing our first apartment together and ultimately.... Dexter getting on his knee and asking THEE question...(and Shaunna laughing hysterically and then bursting into tears...smh)...and her saying "Yes!" And so here we are, 14 years after we first met and just a couple of years past our 30th birthdays, full of pizza and love and keeping our pact and getting married. #BecomingCofield #Cofchella2020
