Bria and Courtney first met in 7th grade at Colonial Middle School through mutual friends. They never really interacted with each other during that time only speaking and having small conversations here and there throughout their time in school. Right before high school graduation, they found out that they would be attending the same university for college. Upon their arrival at The University of Tennessee at Chattanooga (UTC) they met up and starting hanging out. They grew close as friends during their first semester spending time together often. During their second semester, Courtney asked Bria to be his girlfriend she laughed and declined his offer. He then stated, "You're going to be my wife, you just don't know it yet." Bria laughed even harder at this point not taking it seriously as she saw Courtney as just a friend. They continued their friendship and became best friends telling each other everything and helping each other out frequently. Their friendship would grow further and over the next few years, Bria's feelings would grow for Courtney deeper than a friend level. During their last year of undergrad after years of friendship, flirting, and fall-outs Bria and Courtney decided to give a romantic relationship a try and haven't looked back since.
