Scoey and Darren first crossed paths at an Omega Psi Phi event in Washington, D.C.—back when Scoey was running her spa and Darren was known for zipping through the city on his crotch rocket. That evening, Scoey was at the bar with four of her girlfriends when Darren walked in with his brother, Chris. The moment he saw her, Darren made a beeline for the bar, undeterred by the crowd or the company she kept. His charm was effortless, but it was his boldness that truly stood out. Approaching Scoey in front of all her friends didn’t faze him one bit. “No shame, no hesitation—just confidence,” Scoey recalls with a smile. Darren likes to sum it up simply: “I shot my shot.” And clearly, it landed. They dated briefly in 2011, but life led them in different directions. Then, in 2023, fate stepped in. They reconnected—and this time, they’ve been inseparable ever since.

Darren has always had a flair for surprises, and his proposal to Scoey was no exception. It happened during their first Thanksgiving in their new home in Brandywine—a milestone Scoey had imagined would be quiet and low-key. She had gently insisted on keeping the holiday small, preferring to wait until the house was fully unpacked and decorated before hosting a big gathering. But love has its own timeline. What began as a modest dinner at Chris’s quickly blossomed into a full celebration at their home, with 25 guests filling the space with laughter and warmth. All the Green siblings were there, along with Mom, Dad, and most of the grandchildren. Even Scoey’s nephew, Kamalei, flew in from Las Vegas. Behind the scenes, Darren had been planning something unforgettable. He’d spoken to Kamalei ahead of time, shared his intentions to propose, and made sure he had the blessing of Scoey’s family. On Thanksgiving Day, 2024, as everyone stood in a circle to share what they were grateful for, Darren stepped forward. With love in his heart and family all around, he asked Scoey to marry him. She said yes.
