Steven & I met back in Summer of 2013 at one of our close friend's surprise birthday party. While waiting on her arrival we hid behind a bush and started making small talk; I also randomly I asked if he would be so kind to take a picture so my mom could see how tall he was. Later on that night, we learned that I will also be attending Emmanuel College in the upcoming Fall. Once we were both living in Georgia, we became the best of friends. Steven and I always understood each other since we were two of the very few people from Miami. Throughout the years we continued to become closer but still had no idea of what was in our future. Fast forward to Summer of 2016, our friendship turned into a small spark that we were not too sure of. We mutually decided that we will just take everything as it comes. When Fall rolled around, Steven had to leave Miami for his last semester at EC. Both still unsure of what was happening, we Facetimed every single night for hours at a time. By the time we saw each other again towards the end of the year, we both just knew we wanted to be with each other. We officially began dating that December and our relationship really took off. We knew that we were a going to be a forever-thing, we later got engaged on February 24th, 2018 and now we are so excited to continue our journey as one.
