It all began at Prairie View A&M University—two young souls, just 17 and 18, finding their way in a new world full of dreams, pressure, and possibility. We didn’t know it then, but fate had something beautiful in store. We met at the recreation center—just a normal day, or so it seemed. One of us was there to clear our head, the other just tagging along with friends. But somehow, in the middle of all the noise, our eyes met. There was something familiar in that gaze, something comforting. It felt like the world paused for a second, just long enough for us to notice each other. From quick conversations in passing to late-night talks that lasted until the sun came up, we slowly began to write our story. We studied side by side, supported each other’s dreams, and became each other’s safe space. College was full of challenges, but loving each other made it all feel lighter. Over time, the bond grew stronger—friendship turned into something deeper, and the moments we shared started to feel like forever. Now, years later, here we are. Still standing side by side, but this time ready to walk down the aisle. Still best friends, but now soon-to-be husband and wife. What started as a chance meeting at the PV Rec has turned into a lifetime of love, faith, and partnership. And we wouldn’t change a thing.
