How We Met

September 30, 2018

Our story begins in 2018. Genesis was a flight attendant and Elijah was a captain in the same airline - classic! *insert eye roll here* We only ever had one flight together during our time in the airlines and met outside of work, at a bar (hehe). A mutual friend [shout out to Yaika!] had plans to go out with Elijah and friends and asked Gen to tag along. Naturally Genesis went in for a hug instead of a handshake ;) If you know her, you know that she is NOT a hugger, but for him.... sure. We’ll spare you the details of that night, but know there was lots of dancing and maybe too much drinking on one man’s end, we both left that night slightly confused and hopeful ! lol "I was out here living my best life," Elijah jokes, "Then this Guatemalan shortie came along." (Hehe). We spent a whole month hanging out in group settings and becoming real friends before we went on a first date. During this time we both realized this would be a forever kind of thing. We've gone through A LOT these past three years and can honestly say that we make each other better humans. We've grown in maturity, faith and have found a way to keep our independence. It has been a beautiful discovery to know that we can love one another completely and not have to give up our true selves. All in all our way of doing things is a little backwards and everyone is in for a surprise, but this is very US and we are very excited to have the greatest people by our side.
