We first met on Facebook Dating in August 26, 2021. TJ made the first move, but I was a little hesitant at first. With encouragement from my best friend and cousins, I gave it a chance— so glad I did. TJ was respectful, genuine, and quickly brought joy back into my life. Before long, we were both smiling all the time. About a month later in September, we finally met in person at TJ’s job. From that very first meeting, we instantly clicked and started spending more and more time together. As we shared childhood stories, we realized we had been around the same people and places all along—it just took fate (and Facebook) to bring us together. On November 10, 2021, we made it official. Since then, we’ve built a life full of new experiences. TJ introduced me to things I had never done before, to me sharing my Caribbean culture with TJ. Both of our families have been a huge part of our love story, welcoming us with open arms and supporting us every step of the way. We’ve grown together in so many ways, building a beautiful bond rooted in love, laughter, and family. We are so excited to begin this next chapter—spending the rest of our lives together forever and celebrating with the people who mean the most to us.
