Most people dont know this, but Val and Derrick first crossed paths while out with mutual friends about 7 years ago! They were only quickly introduced and in different places in their lives so naturally nothing came if it. Fast forward to 2018 and Derrick approached their mutual close friend, Danielle, to get Vals number and ultimately asked her out on a date. Derrick picked Val up from the beach one Saturday afternoon (with a literal push from her friend Christina) and the rest as they say is history! Here they are over 7 years later from the first time they met and over 2 years since they went on their first date and they couldnt be happier. ❤️
