If ever there was a time to say thank you, now is the moment. A special thank you to Akeia Johnson—without you, we might have never decided on forever. Kwahn and Raven first crossed paths while working at The University of Memphis. You might think their love story began there… but not quite. Fast forward four years. While joking with their mutual friend Akeia Johnson at a football game about arranged marriages, Raven laughed and said she needed help finding someone. Akeia smiled and replied with words that would change everything: “I know someone that’s perfect for you.” After that game, Raven and Kwahn reconnected through Instagram. In early 2020, Raven’s younger brother was invited to a Junior Day at the university where Kwahn worked. Raven decided to tag along, but just two weeks before the trip, the world shut down (COVID). Fortunately, Raven’s job involved traveling to various universities, and fate (or maybe a well-placed request) brought her exactly where Kwahn was. That visit marked the beginning of something special. Since then, life has taken them from Lawrence, Kansas to Philadelphia, Birmingham, Memphis, Cincinnati, and now Dallas. And on February 25th, in the heart of downtown Dallas, Kwahn asked Raven to be his forever. Without hesitation, she said YES.
