A mutual friend of Dior and Devan's hosted a birthday dinner on January 31, 2018 at a local restaurant in Kent, OH. Dior walked in and sat down at the table to which she was introduced to everyone she was not familiar with, including Devan. Devan reached his arm across the table to shake Dior's hand and reintroduced himself. The night ended and neither Dior or Devan exchanged information, but both were, definitely, interested in one another. Days passed and Dior noticed that Devan had requested to follow her on social media. He commented on a post she made, which sparked further conversation and resulted in Devan giving Dior his phone number.
After 2.5 years of laughs, adventures, familial introductions, personal milestones and lots of growing love, Devan decided to take the next step. On Thursday, October 29, 2020, Devan visited the jewelry store him and Dior had just visited together 8 months prior. Due to Devan not responding to Dior's various texts, Dior checked Devan's location. Dior asked Devan why he was in the vicinity of the jewelry store but Devan quickly dispelled Dior's presumptions. On Friday, October 30, 2020, Dior awaited Devan's arrival to Pittsburgh for the birthday dinner she had planned for him. Devan quickly dressed for dinner while Dior delayed the time they were supposed to be ready. Once they arrived to the restaurant (Eddie Merlot’s), Dior stated reservations were under her name but they could not seem to find them. Devan gave his name and they were quickly seated at a table in the corner set with 1 chair facing the window and the other chair facing the door. The chair facing the window was pulled out for Dior and Devan sat in the other. They ate dinner and Devan excused himself for the restroom ,for the 2nd time during dinner. Dior sat and waited for what felt like 20 minutes but 10 minutes passed by and a group of staff members were approaching Dior from behind with a dessert plate that read "Will you marry me?" in caramel drizzle. Devan dropped to one knee to profess his love and ask for Dior's hand in marriage.
