On December 8,2017 I attended a party with some friends in downtown Birmingham. While out enjoying a good night on the town Deandrea happened to see this tall handsome, chocolate guy. She realized that this wasn't her first time seeing him. She previously encountered Victor (she would later learn that was his name lol) at the Little League Football park where her daughter cheered. Victor approached De'Andrea and introduced himself. In the mist of the the conversation they exchanged each other's snapchat information and promised to keep in touch. That same night Victor wrote De'Andrea to make sure she had made it home safely which she saw as a plus sign. Going with the flow the two continued messaging each other on Snapchat for about three days before Victor finally asked for De'Andrea's number. From that day forth they developed a blossoming friendship where they really got to know each other. They were able to understand each other’s past, talk about future goals and ways they both wanted to better themselves and grow together. By them seeing the same drive in one another is what began their magical relationship and love story. from that day we have became a team. Over the past 4 years De'Andrea & Victor have built their relationship, blended their families and created their own family. They both have realized that before you marry someone you have to first see that person in all seasons of their life. That has been the very reason why their love has grown so strong. They have grown so much and now are ready to grow as Mr. & Mrs. Shepherd.
