Dewan and Maria meet at Abilene Christian University through mutual friends. They were just friends for a while until one day they hung out just the two of them, ever since then the two of them have been inseparable.

Dewan proposed to Maria on November 18th, 2018 at the church they attend together in Abilene, TX. He got on stage after the 2nd service in front of their spiritual family and pulled off in Maria’s eyes, the perfect proposal.
