The year was 2020 and the world had seemed to shut down completely. The only stores open were the necessary ones. As Dorian finished her degree at Stanislaus State she could no longer work at her part time job and decided to apply to everyones favorite warehouse... Costco. Dorian was not expecting to get hired anytime soon, and just a few weeks later while she was on vacation in Connecticut, Costco called her in for an interview. She wouldn't be home in time for the interview, but her gut told her to fly home early. She ended up getting the job and just a few months later as she walked into the break room at Costco there sat Derek shouting " Who is that?" as she passed by. She heard him and chuckled it off. Derek eventually messaged her via socials and asked her respectfully if she would go on a date with him. She politely declined because she was taken at the time. As time went on they worked together occasionally having a chat or two. After Dorian graduated, she decided to move to the east coast. At this time she was now single and getting ready for a new adventure, but before she left... Derek had asked her on a date again! So she fearlessly accepted this time. They went on to have the perfect first date and then she moved away... Don't worry though they both kept in contact despite the distance. They ended up falling in love and she moved back home. Then on November 18th 2023 Derek surprised Dorian with a vineyard engagement and popped the question. Dorian happily said "yes!" and the rest is history...
