Darian and Jacall’s story is rooted in timing, friendship, and a love that continues to grow. They first crossed paths as students at the L&N STEM Academy in Knoxville, Tennessee. Though just acquaintances then, their real connection began years later during a 2017 homecoming at ETSU. Darian came to visit a cousin, but it was a conversation with Jacall that truly stood out—and something just clicked. What began as casual chats soon turned into a deep and lasting relationship. Over the past seven years, their bond has grown through shared values, mutual respect, and a genuine love for each other and life. They’ve lived in four cities across two states and have made memories in some of their most cherished destinations. Through every move, every milestone, and all the in-between moments, their love has remained constant. Now, they look back with gratitude and forward with excitement, trusting in God’s plan for the beautiful journey still ahead.
