How we met

First comes school, then comes marriage!

John & I first met in high school (Heritage High) in Lynchburg, VA. We were classmates in Mrs. Richendollars home economics class. I (Zhakia) took a liking to John and befriended him by often carrying on conversations with him. One day....John came into class with a McDonalds sweet tea (everyone knows if you had food in highschool you were the shizzz) and boom he wasted it all over & it got on me! I calmly said "its okay and helped him clean it up", not realizing when I looked up I starred into the eyes of my soul mate. As time went on, John would say I "bugged" him by saying "do you need me to walk you to class" as a way of flirting. He obliged and we walked together everyday.. On March 8, 2014 he asked me to be his girlfriend and the rest is history!
