We met in highschool. We walked passed each other daily occasionally waiving or saying "Hey". I even gave him a nickname, "Dea-Dea" haha. Highschool came to an end, and then came jr college. Once again, we found ourselves at the same school and nothing more than a "Whats up?!" every once and a while. A few years later, we were both invited on a group trip with our mutual friends. That's where it all started. We found ourselves separated from the group for a few hours and we got a chance to really talk. It was then that I knew "Dea-Dea" would play a bigger role in my life. Once we came home, I set up our first date. (Steven was too shy to do it! ) On August 15, 2014, we went to an event called "Fairyland for Grownups" in Oakland, Ca. I thought it would be the type of date that didn't come with the "first date" pressure that both of us HATED. He picked me up with a dozen lilies and he even made a special mixtape for the ride over. We spent the night laughing and talking about all the things we didn't get to during those 6 years of being in school together! We saw each other every single day for a week after that night. We couldn't get enough of each other then and we still can't. Now we're 4 years in and about to make it official in front of all of our closest friends and family. We can't wait to jump the broom!
