Edward and Tranell originally made each other’s acquaintance as classmates freshman year at Oxon Hill High School. Edward eventually moved schools to Surratsville High School but the two keep tabs on each other through social media. Years later the two began interacting more online as Edward would “slide into Tranell’s DMs.” While the conversations wouldn’t go far Edward was very interested in a date. One random Sunday, Tranell decided to visit Redrocks in DC with her girlfriends for some midday fun. She wasn’t planning on going out but it was a beautiful spring day. A few minutes after her arrival Edward walked in, they made eye contact and he headed straight over to finally ask for his date in person. A few weeks later they finally went on their first date and stayed until the restaurant closed. Since then the two have enjoyed building a life together and can’t wait to make things “official.”
