We met in Bedstuy on the subway platform (Utica Avenue A/C line for the folks that get it) in September 2016. Marc made the first approach and we ended up riding the train into Manhattan together. We are both nerds and talked mostly about education politics and how to enjoy the last of summer as young, black professionals. What seemed like an innocent conversation between strangers turned into the first week of our relationship. That first year can be called "catching flights and feelings"- we traveled often and each shared the most important people in our lives from Alabama to New York. At almost four years in we are ready to tie the knot and most grateful for the people that support our love.
