Every love story has its own beginning, but Sade and Cavin’s was one beautiful twist of fate. It was late 2012, during winter break, when Sade was preparing to transfer to Bowie State from Notre Dame of Maryland for the spring semester. As usual, it took some convincing to get her out of the house—shoutout to her friend Tayla—but she finally agreed to go meet a few people before the semester started. And as the stars would have it, there he was. Cavin Murray. They struck up a conversation, and it didn’t take long for the two to click. Between swapping jokes and chatting about their spring schedules, they learned they were both enrolled in African American History. Same class, different professors. Now, depending on who’s telling the story, one of them may or may not have accidentally on purpose switched professors to ensure they were in the same room come January... but we’ll leave that mystery up to the Murray Archives. By 2013, they were inseparable. Cavin, juggling his football commitments, and Sade, navigating life as a new student at Bowie State, made it work seamlessly. Study partners turned foodies turned “wow-we-just-binge-watched-three-seasons-together” partners. Let us thank Bowie State’s registrar for sealing that deal. That fall, Sade transferred to Towson University. And while many relationships might fumble during a big change like that, theirs didn’t miss a beat. Through date nights, Friday home games, and probably some gas station visits along I-695, they kept their connection strong. Fast forward through the montage of graduations, new jobs, major moves, several passport stamps, and eventually homeownership… through every life change, they’ve remained the constant in each other’s lives - a pillar of companionship, and a true testament to love, patience, and teamwork. Before they knew it.. March 2023. Jamaica. The sun was shining, waves crashing, and exactly a decade after that fateful history class, Cavin popped the question. Best friends. Best match. #WillYouMurrayMe was officially in motion. As they prepare to say “I do,” one thing is clear: how amazing it is to marry your best friend. Sade and Cavin aren’t just tying the knot—they’re writing the next chapter of a story we’ve all seen some part of - one full of laughter, adventure, and the kind of love that has blossomed from friendship, finals, and football to a firm foundation and the rest of forever.
