It all started in the digital world, where LaTonya and Deon first crossed paths on a dating app. They quickly hit it off, texting for days and making plans to meet. But, as love sometimes does, nerves got the best of LaTonya, and their first date didn't happen. Still, their connection kept growing. Then, on a Friday, while LaTonya was at a work conference, Deon reached out. He asked if they could meet up once she was done with her day. Their first date was at Deja Brew, where Deon’s confident demeanor met LaTonya’s fun-loving nature. The evening was full of laughter, including a hilarious moment when the waitress mistook Deon for a famous NBA player. After the date, Deon casually said, “I’ll see you this weekend,” and true to his word, they were inseparable from that moment on.
