Kyran and Terah first met in 2008 when he and his cousin, Amanie, went to support their friend Devon's dance performance - a performance that Terah was in as well! Devon, who has become one of Terah's best friend through dance, introduced her to both Amanie and Kyran. Since that time to about 2013, Terah really only referred to Kyran as "Amanie's Cousin," even when he took their friend-group's prom pictures in 2012! Once Amanie joined Kyran to study at the University of Maryland, Baltimore Campus, both her friend-group and his would often come together for parties and group hangouts. It was during this time that Kyran's identifying marker even changed from "Amanie's Cousin" to his actual name! However, while friend-groups and friendships started to blossom and grow stronger, both Kyran and Terah were dating other people, so they stayed platonic. It wasn't until Terah's 23rd birthday that the stars seemed to align for this couple. At the end of her birthday house party, Kyran texted Terah, separately from the usual friends group chat. He had asked her to hang out and while Terah was taken back yet flattered, she had to confirm that he in fact meant to text just her and not the friend-group chat (LOL). Kyran assured Terah that he wanted to hang out with just her:) He suggested a playful, outside, photoshoot with his new camera and she said yes! On the day of the photoshoot, Terah was disappointed to find that the weather had plans to rain all day. But to her surprise, instead of rain-checking their hangout, Kyran suggested they go out to get dinner instead. This sparked a month-long courtship that ended with both deciding to date each other exclusively. This was the day after Valentine's Day. The rest, as they say, was history. herstory. Their story ❤
