We began dating May 16, 2013 after hitting it off at the local Poke Sallet Festival in town. Prior, I only knew Derick as the brother of my best friend, Rochelle. After she introduced us, we hit it off right away and have been inseparable ever since. (Definitely knew he was a keeper since he stuck around even after I made a mess on myself with cheese fries.) Seven years later, we're finally tying the knot with 3 apartments (now a house! wooo!), two fur babies, and 2 colleges degrees later. We are so excited for you to join us on our special day!
