Devien and I met at a basketball game of mine through friends. We lost touch while in college and rekindled through the family. Through the long distance, we begin meeting up for vacations or when we were off. I moved back to Tennessee to be closer to family and we never parted ways again.
While on vacation in Oakland, California we had a private dinner, it was the Fourth of July. As the fireworks started to bang and fill the sky, I come from the restroom and then realized Devien, was down on one knee. I screamed, cried, and shouted "YES," As we both smiled and soaked in the moment.
