We're Getting Married

It all started while Brandi was hanging with a former classmate and friend. The friend asked her if she could take his friend, Marquel, to the store. Hesitant at first, she said yes. Marquel gets in the car and Brandi turns around, smiles and says "Hi!" enthusiastically. He was struck from the start. The way her face lit up as she said hi to him was magnetic. It felt as if the entire world around them faded away, leaving just the two of them in that moment. Brandi's warm smile, framed by her flowing hair, radiated a kind of joy that made Marquel's heart skip a beat. As they drove through the familiar streets, he couldn’t help but steal glances at her, captivated by the way she animatedly talked about the little things—the weather, her favorite snacks, and her plans for the weekend. Her laughter was infectious, and Marquel found himself laughing along, feeling a sense of ease that he hadn’t anticipated. In that short car ride, he realized that this unexpected outing was leading him somewhere he never expected. From that day forward, they started spending more time together and with every shared moment, their bond deepened. They shared late-night talks, confided in each other, and found comfort in one another’s presence. What had started as a simple trip to the store transformed into a journey filled with love, adventure, and companionship and it was all thanks to a thoughtful friend who brought them together.
