Our story began with a chance meeting at Sam’s Club in 2019 and deepened the following year when a friendly nudge brought us back into each other’s orbit. Although we’d lived within five miles of each other for years and both graduated from Booker T. Washington High School, it took a little time and life’s twists for our paths to truly align. As we got to know one another, our thoughts, values, and goals synced — and together we achieved things we’re proud of. In June 2025 Langston asked Orlandrea to marry him, and she said yes. We’re excited to celebrate the next chapter with the people we love.
