Cynthia and Derricks story began at Southern Kia, a dealership where cars were sold and personalities were tested. They first crossed paths years ago when Cynthia, a woman with a sharp focus and an even sharper tongue, walked through the door. Derrick had already been with Southern Kia for a while, well-known for his easy-going attitude and his solid, if somewhat unbending , approache to sales.
From the very beginning, it was clear that these two had no intention of getting along. Cynthia was, well, bossy—at least, thats how Derrick saw it. She was a woman who liked things done her way, and she wasnt afraid to make sure everyone knew it. Derrick, on the other hand, was a man who had his own rhythm, and he didn’t appreciate anyone telling him how to do his job. He’d been doing it for years, and he knew what worked for him.
Their interactions were full of friction. The tension between them grew as they navigated daily tasks, often bumping heads over decisions, methods, and priorities. She was a stickler for details, while Derrick was more of a “get it done” kind of guy. They had little patience for one another’s ways, and mutual respect seemed like a distant dream.
Eventually, the tension between them began to fade. Their conversations shifted from work-related talk to more personal exchanges. Derrick learned that Cynthia had a wonderful sense of humor and a tender heart, and Cynthia discovered that Derrick was more thoughtful than he let on. Slowly, they began to trust each other, sharing their hopes, their dreams, and the challenges they faced in their personal lives.
As their bond grew stronger, so did their feelings for each other. They started dating—tentatively at first, unsure of how everyone would react, but soon, they realized they didn’t care. They were happier than they’d ever been, and that was what mattered most.
Now, as Cynthia and Derrick look ahead to September 1, 2025, they can’t help but marvel at how far they’ve come. What began as two people who couldn’t stand each other has blossomed into a love that’s strong, steady, and unshakable. They’ve built a life together based on respect, patience, and a shared understanding that sometimes, opposites really do attract.
On their wedding day, as they stand before their children, family, and friends, it won’t just be a celebration of their love—it will be a celebration of everything they’ve overcome together. Their story is a testament to the idea that love doesn’t always come in the form you expect, but when it does arrive, it’s worth the wait.
