Kim: It all started with a paper ball, we met at work & I noticed Darrin falling asleep, I threw a paper ball at him so he wouldn’t get in trouble. When I first seen him, to be honest I really didn't notice him, just another person I worked with. I did not notice him until a conversation a coworker & I were having about her father, a trumpet player, I told her that my first instrument was a trumpet. Darrin popped into our conversation & said "I’m a musician" & the entire time he smiled & his face lit up, you could tell he was passionate about music, something in me said "I want to get to know him". I guess it was his spirit, it was drawing me to him, not like I wanted to be in a relationship with him, I needed to get to know him on a spiritual level. On my last day at work Darrin was coming into the room as I was leaving & I asked "what's your sign", he said Scorpio I handed him a piece of paper with my number & ran (I didn't even know his name). I’d never given out my number or made the first move before. Later, I was emailing my job about the schedule & saw Darrin’s face on the email list, I said to myself "that looks like him". I sent him a long email (that he still has) saying I was sorry I ran off & I actually lied saying that he was cute (again, I didn’t know what he looked like). it was just something about him. A week went by & finally I get a text message "is this Kimberly", "yes who’s this", "I’m the one that you gave the number & sent the email to", "oh yeah hi Darrin". Since this day, we talked/facetimed every single day & even fell asleep on facetime a few times & we still do this to this day. Darrin: I remember being email stalked by Kim. She was sweating me so much, she kept bothering me, texting me, all day & calling me all night. Lol, just kidding but yes Kim did make the first move but once I made the second, we've never looked back. The overall synopsis of the story is Life is not a fairytale, sometimes all you need is a paper ball.

It was not the physical attraction that caught my eye, it was mainly his personality. Honestly, at the time I would not have been able to describe him to anyone because I didn't see his looks. His smile was another thing that got me; he can light up a room with that smile. I needed and wanted to get to know him so I gave him my number and emailed him and I told him that he was cute. He became my friend, then my best friend, then my boyfriend, and now my fiancé. He is one of the most amazing men that I've ever met, besides my daddy. He reminds me so much of my father, even down to the facial hair. I know that my dad would be so happy and proud of him and would have loved him so much, maybe more than me.

This woman owns Rifles and put one to my head and said “you know you’re marrying me right” and she was like “no for real you’re marrying me” and I was like yessum Boss and she’s ran my life ever since, lol. On a more serious note, Kimberly is my heart, my soul. Without her I wouldn’t be complete. When Kim came into my life neither one of us thought we would spend our lives together but I’m glad God pointed me in her direction because I wouldn’t be who I am today without her.

He proposed on my parents wedding anniversary and my dad’s birthday (he did not know how special that date was until my mom told him, I say that my dad told him the date). We went to the movies for the very first time and saw Aquaman with Jade and Kelilah. After the movie we went to my house and he told me to wear something nice, I thought that he was taking my mom out for her anniversary and to get out of the house. I still had no clue what was going on. We pulled up to the Melting Pot and Darrin dropped my mom off then we parked (next to Amanda, his uncle and his grandparents) still I had no clue. We walk into the restaurant, we waited for a little bit and the hostess directed us to our table. There was a group of people that was standing where the room was and I was wondering why they were looking at me. The first person I saw was my uncle Tommy, Darrin's cousin Kayla serenaded us with the song I Choose You by Kiana Lede and then Darrin got down on one knee and proposed. It was such an emotional moment for many reasons for me and to have the room filled with family and friends made it all the better. I said YES to marrying My Best Friend!! Attendance: Darrins grandparents, Jaylen (Darrins brother), his uncle Leroy (Sport) and his wife Kelly, her daughter Kayla, Liz (Darrins cousin/bridal party makeup artist), My mom, my Aunt Audrey (Tweety), my Uncle Tommy and his wife Charmane, Pastor Walker, my best friend/ maid of honor Amanda, his best friend/best man Marc and mutual friends/bridal party Brandon, Kelilah and Jade.
