Back in September 2010, I was just going about my day when Da’Shon approached me, grilling me hard as I walked into the cafeteria at New Jersey City University, giving me a look I’ll never forget. I wasn’t in the mood and didn’t have time for him. It was my freshman year, and I was living my best life you know, that girl! But somehow, I ended up giving him my number. We started hanging out and getting to know each other. At the time, we were both in different places and relationships, but we built an incredible friendship. Over the years, our bond grew stronger, always grounded in being friends first. Fast forward to September 2020 we reconnected, and things took off from there. Now, here we are, and I’m about to marry the man who healed me, made me feel safe, and brought out the best in me.
