“In all the world, there is no heart for me like yours. In all the world, there is no love for you like mine.- Maya Angelou

It's a classic story really. In 2012, both Daveaughn and Erica found themselves working as servers at T.G.I.Fridays. Neither of them spoke to each other at first. Erica thought Daveaughn was cute and conceited, and Daveaughn thought Erica was part of the "cool crowd" and couldn't be bothered, so things did not spark right away. However, on a slow lunch shift, Erica took the initiative to introduce herself, and found out that Daveaughn was actually a pretty nice guy. From there, a friendship blossomed. They shared stories and inside jokes, and they even offered one another love advice on the people whom they were dating at the time. The two were both eventually promoted to bartenders (Erica trained Daveaughn on bar) and worked as a team to keep the customers happy and the tip jar full. Though the relationship was platonic, they acknowledged each other as work "spouses" and realized that they made a great team. Eventually, Daveaughn moved on to another job, but the two remained friendly. One night, a mutual friend invited both of them to his annual party. Erica had never attended this yearly bash before, and that night Daveaughn originally had other plans. Despite these circumstances, both found themselves hanging out until the wee hours of the morning at this annual kick-back. They were inseparable all night, and for the first time in 2 years, both realized that there might be more between them than friendship. There was a spark, an attraction... an interest in seeing what more they could be. The next day, Daveaughn reached out to Erica, and made the first move to become more than just her ex-work husband and friend; and now he is going to become her actual husband. They say the best relationships start out as friendships...and now we say that too.
