Like many modern love stories, DaJon and Jarrizze first crossed paths on Tinder. While the original messages have been lost to time, one line from DaJon left a lasting impression: “Why can I imagine building a life with you?” That one message led to a coffee date at the end of January, 2023. What was meant to be a quick meetup turned into a seven-hour conversation that flowed effortlessly. It was full of laughter, stories from their pasts, reflections on the present, and dreams for the future. Two weeks later, DaJon surprised Jarrizze with a bouquet of flowers delivered to her door and a message to “dress nicely” for a special evening. That night, he took her to his hometown, a personal gesture to share where he came from. Over dinner, he asked her to be his girlfriend, and from that moment, their journey officially began. Over the next year, their bond deepened. They learned each other’s quirks, met one another’s families, and navigated the holidays hand in hand. Then, exactly one year after their first date, DaJon brought Jarrizze back to the coffee shop where it all started. Little did Jarrizze know their friends and family were hiding, waiting, and watching nearby. This time, surrounded by the people they love most, he got down on one knee and asked the question that would change everything: “Will you marry me?” Through tears of joy, Jarrizze said “Yes!”
