Our Wedding

Quence and DeShaun had been friends on social media for years and never had any interactions with each other until out of the blue one day in March of 2022, Quence commented on a story DeShaun posted of her working out at the gym. From that moment Quence flirted with DeShaun by liking pictures and sending flirty comments. Quence finally sent DeShaun a private message on Instagram which sparked a conversation between the two. The two communicated on the phone for about a month before they went on their first date, which was their first time meeting each other in person also. When they first met, DeShaun was quite nervous and Quence was quite surprised that DeShaun was taller than he expected. They ate at The Loft in downtown Columbus, GA and initially had plans to go axe throwing afterwards but their conversation during dinner was so great, they didn't make it. The two didn't want the night to end, so they decided to go have a drink at NAVI Wine Bar where their conversation continued. The connection between Quence and DeShaun felt so natural, they took a picture together and ended the night with a kiss. From that night, Quence and DeShaun stayed in contact and with them living in different cities, Quence made sure to stay consistent with pursuing DeShaun by visiting every other weekend, so they could spend time together and go on dates. Though Quence and DeShaun didn't make things official until after a month of dating, DeShaun always considers their first date which was on April 30, 2022 as their special date in which they celebrate every year. The love between Quence and DeShaun continues to grow more and more each day and they cant wait to blend their families and become one.
