ChaToya: It all started at a family friend's get-together—something neither of us really wanted to attend that night. I wasn’t feeling it, honestly. I had a long day and just wanted to stay home, but somehow, I ended up going anyway. When I walked in, I just wanted to be left alone, so I sat quietly at the back of the party, ready to make my exit within the hour. I didn’t even notice that Dontre had already started plotting how he was going to speak to me. Dontre: Yeah, I wasn’t even going to let the night pass without talking to her. I saw ChaToya sitting there, and something about her caught my eye. I had to make my move, but it wasn’t easy! I kept waiting for the right moment, and meanwhile, I had so many of our family and friends coming up to her and telling her that I wanted to get her attention. I’m sure she got tired of hearing it! ChaToya: They weren’t subtle at all! Every time someone walked up, I was like, "Okay, I get it, Dontre wants to talk to me!" But I still didn’t pay much attention. Finally, after what felt like an eternity, Dontre made his way over and sat next to me. Honestly, I wasn’t expecting much from the conversation, but we ended up talking for hours. Dontre: Once I sat down, it felt like we just clicked. We started chatting, and before I knew it, I asked if I could escort her home. I thought it would be a nice gesture, but she told me she lived really close by and didn’t need a ride. ChaToya: Yeah, I was only a few minutes away, so I wasn’t really worried. But Dontre, being the gentleman he is, texted me after to make sure I got home safely. That was sweet of him. Dontre: I wasn’t going to leave it to chance, so I just wanted to make sure she was okay. After that, we started talking every day, all day. We met up again a week later, and one meeting turned into another, then another. What started as one random night at a party turned into something much more. ChaToya: And four years later, here we are, more in love than ever. It’s funny how something so simple can turn into the best part of your life. I’m so glad we didn’t let that night slip by. Dontre: Same here. That night changed everything. Now, I can’t imagine life without her. We definitely owe it all to taking a chance and going to that party.
