Shahyan & Katy: A Love Story About Me!

Told from the perspective of our dear friend, Paulos Feerow

I met Katy and Shahyan at different times in my life, and they became two of my favorite human beings. Thanks to comedy, we ended up in close proximity to each other—both of them so close to each other, but ultimately closer to me. Remember, this is mostly about me! I remember how different they were, yet how similarly they carried themselves. They both knew they wanted to find success in their creative and professional lives, but both hesitated to fit romance into their plans. Does this need more me? I think so. A moment that truly defined them was the 2016 Homecoming Dance at Dallas Comedy House (I was there too!) which, if a building could write, would tell this story WAY better. You could see them inching towards each other, with me as the charming third wheel. THIS IS STILL ABOUT ME. After, they each messaged me about the other (sorry, but here’s the part where I snitch on both of you a bit) in a way that made it clear they “weren’t interested.” They both masked their interest with a level of grade school “Ew! I don’t like her/him... unless they like me” type questions. But I got it. They liked each other. They kept dancing around their feelings but eventually softened their stances and no longer needed me as a pretense to hang out. I was excited to see two of my friends become...friends? I knew they were going to fall for each other, but they were already best friends. Then Shahyan told me one day how he was going on a date with Katy and he was... nervous? This was odd for these two alphas who were never nervous in front of anyone (except for me). That’s been the most interesting thing about watching these two start a relationship, fall in love, and get married: they’ve softened, they’ve let their guards down, they laugh more, they’re more vulnerable. You’re getting to see the best version of each of them; the one I’ve had a chance to see for years. Yes, this is a real love story and yes, it’s also about me.
