Our story began like most millennial love stories, we met online. We first spoke on November 28, 2021. After talking online and then via text, we hung out a few times. We both knew that this was something different but things eventually drifted. We would text here and there until we went on our first official date in May of 2022 at one of Charles’s favorite Pho places.

We soon went on a 2nd date and were talking and hanging out regularly. Even though Charles is the hands down better cook in the couple, Jerome cooked for Charles first on June 27. Inexplicably, by the end of the summer things drifted again.

On July 1st, 2023, Charles reached out and invited Jerome to hang out at his house. Even though he already had plans for the evening, Jerome accepted the invitation without hesitation and since this day they have been inseparable.

This last go around we both knew that we needed to figure out what was supposed to be happening. We both felt connected but it wasn’t entirely clear what that was supposed to look like. Were we supposed to be friends or something more? We had several deep, raw and revealing conversations and ultimately decided to start official dating, which was initiated by Jerome making a super cute video asking Charles to be his boyfriend on October 18, 2023.

On June 28th, 2024, a handsome man named Jerome decided to move forward and get on one knee and propose to Charles during a surprise couples photo shoot.

And now…… WE GETTING MARRIED YALL!!!!
