We meet in college, I graduated high school in 2014 from Weston and him in 2015 from Liberty. We both ended up at Missouri Western because both of our families thought we need to got to college after high school and this was close and cheaper. We crossed paths one night when I was in a mutual friends dorm room hanging out and he lived a crossed the hall and happened to swing by after he saw my friend and I were in his room. We continued to hangout (basically dating) for like a month or so. One day he was going to Liberty to help his cousin Carrie with something and asked if I wanted to come along. Outside her house he asked how we should introduce me and I said however. "Hey Carrie, this is my Girlfriend Darien" now officially dating I hit him with "you can't purpose for 5 years" because honestly what sophomore and freshmen who start dating in college are actually going to get married? Well surprise!! 6 years later were actually getting married. After countless life/relationship experiences like both of us in college, just me in college, living with my parent, moving out on our own, moving back in with my parents, a FREAKING flood, living in a camper, doing long distance, moving in with my aunt, sharing a small studio apartment with my mom, finally get our own apartment and a pandemic, he FINALLY purposed on a beach at sunset with some of my family there. All because my friend wanted to hangout with her friend in the freshmen dorms.
