“Coming together is a beginning: keeping together is progress: working together is success.” -Henry Ford

Deven moved to Clemson to help open up a new bar and I had just transferred there for my junior year. It was one of the last nights of summer and the bar Deven worked at happened to be exactly where all my friends insisted we go. It was opening night and super busy. I saw Deven walking up the stairs and I knew I had to meet him. With some help of employees and friends, I ended up with his number. I got a little nervous so instead of a date, I asked for a job. The more I was around him the more I wanted to know about him. After a few weeks of (what I thought was obvious) flirting, Deven finally asked me on a date. By this point there was no hiding “us” at work which complicated things a bit (and made things interesting) but we made it work and here we are four years later ready to be pronounced manager and wife!
