We were 2 kids who lived 15 miles apart. Me Adrian from Aberdeen and My fiancé Doreonna from Edgewood. We were introduced through a close friend who is a groomsmen in the wedding party Shawn and The cousin of the bride Queneisa. We were young and innocent! We talked every day on the phone when house phones were in style for almost 2 months before we ever had the chance to see each other and built a relationship and bond as friends that we felt could never be broken. I remember vividly getting my first job at 14 and 9 months at Burger King making $6.50. All I could think about was taking this girl out on a date and making her feel so special as she made me feel through us having genuine conversation everyday. I will never forget the first day I met her I was star struck. She was Beyond Beautiful. I never wanted to be apart from her from that day forward. Eventually I ended up moving to Edgewood with my Older sister junior year in high school due to circumstances. We became closer as friends and also dated during a stretch during high school. Things were just not ready and the stars were not aligned for us to be together for long term. We both needed to grow and go through the experiences we needed to get here. To now be here 16 years later and we still have love for one another still respect one another and want the best for one another. I have unconditional love for her and she has the same. We are now at a point where we value each other even more and we want to spend the rest of our life’s together. Until death do us apart!
