Perhaps not a typical meet-cute, but meeting someone online clearly works! After a rigorous online evaluation of Derrick's OkCupid dating profile, Laura made the decision to respond to the cute, nerdy guy that had messaged her. After a month or so of non-stop messaging, they made the decision to finally meet and his location choice of the Alexandria Community Park. They immediately hit it off and chatted non-stop while enjoying the tranquil surroundings. This lasted for about six hours, where they decided they were both hungry, and made the decision to grab dinner and continue talking. It was that spark that continued to grow into a long lasting relationship.

Laura has had an engagement dream since she was a young girl; get engaged at Disney World. It was one thing she was just passionate about and she thought she would have seen it coming a mile away, but boy was she wrong. After successful indoctrination of Derrick into the Disney Adult lifestyle, Laura planned their second trip as a couple, which Derrick had both suggested they take and decided that would be the time he officially proposed. Laura had no idea, thinking it was just a regular vacation. It wasn't until Laura stood pointing at the flags in front of the Epcot Ball where she turned to look at Derrick, who was on one knee. It was a dream come true, and they spent the rest of their trip in engagement bliss.
