It all began in June 2014, with a simple Instagram like. Medjie, a rising sophomore, and Djackens, a rising junior, were just two teenagers navigating the chaos of high school. But that one like sparked something neither of them expected. Djackens slid into Medjie’s DMs with a playful message: “TBH, you broke my scale 😍.” It was cheesy, it was bold, and it was the beginning of something neither of them could have predicted. What seemed like a casual compliment turned into endless conversations on Kik. They talked about everything and nothing, losing track of time as they discovered how much they enjoyed each other's company. Neither of them was searching for love—Medjie thought Dj was hilarious, and Dj saw Medjie as someone he could be himself with. It was easy, effortless, and fun. But fate wasn’t done working its magic. When Medjie left for a week-long trip to Haiti, Dj assumed their connection would fade. Little did he know, Medjie couldn’t wait to return to Boston just to talk to him again. The moment she landed, she texted him. And that’s when Dj knew—this was more than just a friendship. Something was blooming, something real. Their first meeting at Ashmont station (iykyk 😂) was a mix of nerves and excitement. Dj was so shy he could barely speak, while Medjie tried to play it cool, though her heart was racing. She found his shyness endearing, a refreshing change from the loud, obnoxious boys she was used to. As they talked, their connection deepened. They shared their dreams, their fears, and their hopes for the future. By the end of that day, it was clear: this was the start of something extraordinary. Three months later, on August 2, 2014, they made it official. Dj jokes that Medjie “pressured him” into it, but the truth is, he knew she was the one. Medjie, tired of acting like a girlfriend without the title, was relieved when Dj finally asked her to be his. It was a decision that would change both of their lives forever. Their love was tested time and time again. In high school, Medjie would take the Red Line train and transfer to the commuter rail just to see Dj at college. When they attended different universities—Medjie at Salem State and Dj at UMass Lowell—he would take Ubers to visit her, an hour-long journey he never hesitated to make. They defied the odds, the haters, and the distance, proving that love, when nurtured, can withstand anything. Through the years, their bond only grew stronger. They traveled the world together, survived the challenges of COVID-19, and even during the strictest quarantine mandates, Dj found a way to see Medjie every single day, much to his mother’s dismay. They became homeowners, built a life filled with love, laughter, and unwavering support. But welcoming their two beautiful daughters into their lives was their greatest accomplishment together. Many may say they did it out of order, but for Medjie and Dj, it was always God’s plan. Their family was created in His perfect timing, and their love only deepened as they embraced the journey of parenthood. Their journey hasn’t been perfect—it’s been messy, challenging, and at times, overwhelming. But through every high and low, they’ve held onto each other. Dj often says, “I don’t see any other person I would want to go through this thing called life with.” And Medjie feels the same. Their love story isn’t just about romance—it’s about partnership, resilience, and choosing each other every single day. It’s about two people who started as friends, grew into lovers, and became each other’s forever—a love story written by God Himself. From a simple Instagram like to a lifetime of love, Medjie and Djackens’ story is a reminder that the best relationships are built on friendship, trust, and a willingness to show up, no matter what. And as they continue to write their story, one thing is certain: their love is unbreakable. Here’s to Medjie and Djackens—a love that truly broke the scale. 💕
