David and Brianna's Story

Our story began at San Diego State University. Both of us were English majors and we met perhaps in the dorkiest scenario possible. We were both taking a class called "Post-Colonial British Literature." For the first few weeks, David was sitting all the way across the room, but he eventually made his way over to me by sitting next to a classmate he knew. I didn't know it at the time, but his intention the whole time was to sit by me so he could talk to me. While I would like to say sparks flew, it was only David that saw them (LOL). Despite his one-sided crush, I still thought he was one of the coolest people ever. Eventually, he realized I wasn't interested and we became good friends. It seemed fate had a way of bringing us back together because the next semester we ended up in the same college class (this time some drama class). The roles had flipped! This time I was the one with the crush and I was unsure if he still felt the same way. Over time, I was bold enough to ask him to study with me (which was my test date without it being an official date) and this time sparks actually flew. I would say the craziest part about our story is that our first date happened the day before the pandemic shut everything down. The universe really threw us together at the perfect time. We spent the whole first year of our relationship during the COVID pandemic - 2020. A crazy start!
