On December 18, 2020, Q & Nyla's paths converged during a group trip to the scenic mountains of Gatlinburg, Tennessee with Q's college friends - Nyla was the plus one of an old friend. Nyla first caught Q's eye when he noticed her working on her laptop before they took off on what would be a lifechanging vacation. He curiously asked her what she had been working on. The look in his eyes and his charming smile captured Nyla's soul in the most beautiful way. From that moment, the group trip turned into their own trip. The banter they shared, the laughs, their liking for the game of pool, the care Q showed Nyla after a night of indulgences, him being curious about her love languages, cooking breakfast together, all over the span of 3 days, created an inseparable bond that still lives on. Q courageously moved to San Diego, California in April 2022. On July 5, 2022, after 8 months of no communication between the two, Nyla received an unexpected text message from Q - she convinced herself their previous encountering was nothing more than a beautiful memory. For a year and a half, their commitment spanned the country as they traveled coast-to-coast between North Carolina and California to seriously pursue their long-distance relationship. On December 21, 2023, three years and three days after they initially met, in the lively city of Charlotte, North Carolina in the winter lights of Romare Bearden Park just before midnight, Q knelt down on one knee and asked for Nyla's hand in marriage. Since then, the two have been building their life together in San Diego, with plenty more stops in store. We can't wait to celebrate with you all at our wedding ceremony on June 5, 2025, in the breathtaking city of Barcelona, Spain!
