We first met back on June 2, 2022, at the Too Hot for July: Pride w/ Saucy Santana performance, where we both ended up volunteering for the evening. Initially, we didn't really think much of it, but we had a fun time that day with our friends there. Fast forward to January 10, 2023 (because we didn't really talk heavily after that concert), Fred posted on Instagram looking to see if anyone wanted to go get chicken salads in Cleveland, and Darian responded saying, let's go! That random response to a random post led us to Cleveland for three consecutive weekends (no, these were not all planned; some were spontaneous), and it just began to click. Since then, we have been on a journey of loving one another and building our relationship to be exactly what we want it to be.
