Victor and Asya met in October of 2020 through mutual friends at church, fell in love and have been going strong since then.

*Que the record scratch * What actually happened was Asya started attending Vics church in early 2020 and developed a very massive crush on the cute eccentric drummer boy (Vic.) In the south everyone who was within her age range was married and she thought it best to play it safe and not even consider him to be anything more than a drum playing cutie pie.

At the time Asya was singing with an outreach worship group that would do open air worship in uptown Charlotte. Musicians would rotate in and out of the group. One day the leader of the group was discussing plans for the next event and he mentioned that a drummer from the Gate would be coming to fill in. Asya's ears perked up, at the mention of the cute drummer from the gate coming. She talked herself through not being awkward and to definitely, definitely not be over excited because he was probably unavailable and she did not need to date. The day of, he ended up missing his flight back to Charlotte and was unable to attend. She sang her little heart out for Jesus anyway albeit a little disappointed.

A few weeks later she received a friend request from none other than Victor Cabe. "The CUTE DRUMMER FROM THE GATE ADDED ME ON FACEBOOK" she exclaimed to her best friend.

A few weeks later she was standing in the church lobby, catching up with an old friend. When she heard it, her best friend's husband was greeted by Vic next to her. Panic and elation took over her as her eyes glazed over. She had checked out of the conversation she was in and her inner monologue took over every thought. "Oh my God it's going to happen, I'm going to meet him... ok be cool, be cool, DON'T say anything stupid." Spoiler, she was NOT cool and said something very stupid that they still laugh about this day.

The Conversation went as follows and I quote;

Vic: "Is this your wife?"

Mutual Friend: "No, no, this is my friend Asya."

Vic: Smiling in "goof" volume 10 "Oh, right right. Hi I'm Vic"

Asya: Completely ignoring conversation she was in. She looks over at him in slow motion, someone some where had placed a fan in front of her. Hair blowing in the artificial breeze, their eyes lock. and also smiles in goof* "Hi, I'm Asya"

Vic: "What? Of course your Asya, why wouldn't you be Asya.. of course you are." He rambled something unintelligible as words became like mushed peas in his mouth.

Asya: Trying very hard for a joke, she said with confidence "Yeah.. the worst part is I'm not even Asian."

Ripples of embarrassment took over her immediatly. "I'M NOT EVEN ASIAN?! What was that? Good to know that he will never speak to me again... Not even Asian..."

She went home resigned to the fact that they would never speak again. Little did she know that her horrible joke had not driven Vic away but had the opposite effect on him. He was so smitten that he drove over an hour in the wrong direction and didn't realize it until Sienna said she was hungry.

Then she met Sienna and found out that not only was she a copy and paste version of Vic but that she and Benna shared the same brand of silliness that makes life just that much better.

That was all she wrote. Those two weirdos decided their life wouldn't be complete without the other person in it. That they truly wanted to be best friends for life and that is what we are celebrating. The coming together of a man, a woman and a Benna who have formed a wonderfully silly little family.

Photos coming soon!
