Darin and Jazmyn met in 2000 and dated 2006-2008, they reconnected nearly 13 years later.

“During a meeting, I received a friend request from Darin (@dp2letters), causing my heart to race! (I mean at this point we hadn’t seen or heard from one another in thirteen years). I meticulously drafted a message, urging Darin to post a picture. Keeping it casual, he responded with “I’m still a good look “ along with his number, and it felt so unreal . Soon after, Darin flew into town, treating me to a delightful date night to The Morrie Birmingham . Our connection deepened, with endless phone calls and quality time together often. One unforgettable morning at 4 am, Darin proposed a spontaneous trip to Chicago. Without packing much, I grabbed my toothbrush and purse, embracing the idea of living in the moment. The trip turned out to be amazing, filled with memorable dates , great food and long conversations by the river. Some days , It still feels surreal how everything unfolded for us , it was worth the wait . “
