You know how people say, “What’s meant to be will always find its way?” Yeah — that’s us. We went to the same middle school, the same high school, and even worked at Six Flags... but somehow, our paths never crossed. Not once. Then one day, out of nowhere, Demarcus slid into Shy’s DMs on Instagram. He asked to take her out, and she surprised herself by actually sending her number (which she never does). But something about it just felt right. From that first convo, it was like everything clicked. It didn’t feel like meeting someone new — it felt like finally meeting someone we were always meant to know. And when Shy asked, “So, are you here for a good time or a long time?” Demarcus didn’t even blink: “Both.” Since then, we’ve built a love that’s far from perfect, but it’s real, solid, and full of growth, laughter, and love. Our little crew includes Demarcus’s amazing daughter Arielle — who lights up every room with her big personality — and our three spoiled Frenchies who basically run the house. We’re so grateful life finally brought us together, and now we get to spend forever making up for all the years we missed.
