Our Wedding

Dayo and I swiped right on each other on Hinge in January 2022. I remember asking my best friend if I should even go on a date with him; honestly, he was a lot different than other guys I've dated. He was a great&nbsp;conversationalist from the&nbsp;beginning. We discovered that we had both started training at Morehouse School of Medicine - internal medicine residency for him and child psychiatry fellowship for me. We recently discovered we were in some of the same Morehouse SOM orientation group pictures, but had never crossed paths. It's crazy to think back and realize that my future husband was there all along! Our first date was at a restaurant called A Mano. We talked about our love for music and our desire to read more. Soon after, Dayo won my heart over by sending a custom music playlist and book list based on what we discussed; he took the initiative of planning our second and third dates before I even agreed, haha! Last September, Dayo set&nbsp;up the most romantic proposal in Florence, Italy, during dinner in the presence of our parents. Before getting&nbsp;down on&nbsp;one knee, he gave a heartfelt speech about how he couldn't wait to start a family together. Of course, I said YES! Fast forward, we’re now engaged and planning our wedding! We’re so excited to start this next chapter together and can’t wait to celebrate with everyone we love.

Her Story

I don’t think I knew what I was looking for when using online dating, but I didn’t truly think I’d find the woman who would be my wife. Obviously, we know how that story went, and while I don’t believe in clichés, I knew at first sight that Karyn is an absolute treasure. I remember the week quite vividly; we went out to dinner, and the time went by too quickly. Funny enough, I had already&nbsp;planned a date with someone else to take place the next day.&nbsp;As a man true to his word, I attended the date. Even then, only Karyn was on my mind. By our 4th date, I honestly knew that she was the one for me. I could be myself around her, and hours always flew by. Hours turned to days and days to months, and so on. At this point, all my family, friends, colleagues, and patients know her and love her almost as much as I do.&nbsp; We’ve been to so many different cities and explored different countries, but the best part has always been the time spent and memories made with Karyn. I’m so happy we get to continue exploring, learning, and building, but now with her as my wife.&nbsp;
