In late 2015, Keaton and Raiyana’s story began when they met in high school. Keaton was a sophomore, and Raiyana was a junior. Both played in the marching band but didn’t know each other well at first. At the start of the new school year, they ended up sharing an economics class, which led to more interaction and drew attention to each other. When Raiyana shared a funny Facebook post that made Keaton laugh, he reached out because he thought they shared a similar sense of humor. Over the next year, they spent time messaging and hanging out at school, discovering they had more in common than just their sense of humor. After months of talking, they admitted their feelings for each other and explored the idea of officially dating. In the early morning on June 14, 2016, after Keaton wrote Raiyana a bunch of silly poems, they made it official.
