On July 8th of 2018, I thought I had arranged to have dinner with a couple of my closest friends at Takosushi following the conclusion of the "Be Courageous" JW convention. Little did I know that Ty'Quez, who had known one of my friends from a Spanish circuit assembly of a few years prior, had made plans to link up with them as well. He and his family and friends agreed to meet up with us at Takosushi. Ty'Quez was decked out in a grey suit, blue bow-tie, and sophisticated wooden framed glasses. My first impression of him was that he looked like he was probably cocky with how dapper and cute he was. However, once we were all seated and conversation opened up prior to our food's arrival, I gathered that he was eloquent, intelligent, spiritual, polite, adventurous, had a beautiful smile, and not at all conceited. We agreed on trying peach sake for the first time and shared the bottle brought to us. As the evening drew to a close, we strolled through the Downtown Greenville area together with our friends and his family. He inquired about my natural hair care routine for an illustration he could use in his upcoming public talk. To this day, neither of us remember what that illustration was... At the time, Ty'Quez lived in Demorest, Georgia. That evening ended with me unsure when we would meet up again or whether he even was interested in me or was just a people's person. I found him on Instagram the next day. Ty'Quez would have you believe he wouldn't slide up in my DMs because my story settings were set to where one couldn't immediately reply to a story. However, I responded to the first story he posted and conversation ensued and developed... because love will always find a way. ;) We are heavily anticipating entering this next chapter of our lives with you!
