Jermaine & Cathryn met on Monday, April 6, 2015 at Plank Bowling Alley in Oakland. Cathryn was meeting up with friends Shay, Neil and Charles for a night of bowling and celebrating Neil’s birthday. Jermaine was invited last minute by his cousin, Shay. Throughout the evening we all just hung out, bowled, and shared laughs. Cathryn was not bowling that evening, as she had plans to leave the group early, however, Jermaine requested that she stay. Mad flirty, he said,“If I bowl a strike, you have to stay”. Of course he never bowled a strike (odd considering he went to bowling camp lol) but she stayed. They exchanged numbers - well, Cat gave him a business card. He texted her that night with small talk. Everyone had plans to meet up again on that Saturday evening for dinner and dancing at Luka’s in Oakland. Before Luka’s, Cat & Jermaine connected via FB messenger and chatted before realizing they both needed to go to Macy’s in Hayward and decided to go together. Fast forward to them sitting down and talking over Cinnabon. Sparks weren’t acknowledged just yet but they were floating ... Later that evening, Jermaine picked up Cat and only Charles made it out. Charles ditched them and the sparks were acknowledged on the dance floor at Luka’s, where they shared their first kiss; who kissed who first is up for debate LOL ... They have literally been together since hanging out that Saturday in April 2015 ... some will say that they started off fast but time together and friendship supported the foundation they've established. Attending transformational workshops together and a support system in loved ones, the journey has been a joyous and committed ride. We thank our family & friends who have supported us on this journey. We are excited for what’s next and look forward to celebrating with our loved ones on November 25, 2018!
