In the spring of 2025, fate—and the Black Gentry dating app—brought us together. From the very first message, Derrick declared he was going to “take me off the app,” and something magical sparked. We were both open, vulnerable, and clear about what we wanted: a love that was steady, intentional, and meant to last. Within a week, our days were filled with messages, video calls, and late-night conversations that often ended with us falling asleep on the phone. Before even meeting in person, Derrick was planning a trip from South Carolina to Tennessee—and somehow, we had agreed on a wedding date and colors! From that first encounter, it felt like coming home. We often describe each other as twins—not just because our birthdays are in December, but because our hearts longed for the same love, and our lives had mirrored one another in ways that made our connection feel destined. Every moment since has been a testament to a love that is unwavering, joyful, and beautifully ours.
