It all began in 2015, a moment suspended in time. Aiyana attended an ASO meeting at UNT, where she first caught sight of him. He was enigmatic and undeniably handsome, with a captivating scar that traced a story across his beautiful brown skin. She felt an instant pull, a spark of intrigue, but he remained blissfully unaware of her presence, leaving a lingering sense of what could be.

God, however, had a plan. Aiyana and Sammie both found themselves working at the same retail store in Denton, Texas. It was there, amidst the bustling aisles, that Sammie's curiosity ignited. He was drawn to Aiyana, especially the way she elegantly tied her scarf, wondering if her heritage whispered tales of distant lands.

Over the next three years, their connection deepened into a platonic friendship, a gentle dance of laughter and understanding. As they embarked on their journeys of personal growth and healing, life sometimes pulled them apart, yet the threads of their story remained intertwined, waiting for the perfect moment to unfold.

Then, in February of 2020, Sammie summoned the courage to turn a cherished friendship into something more. With a hopeful heart, he asked Aiyana to be his girlfriend, and when she said yes, it felt as if the universe had aligned. Their journey, once a quiet whisper, now blossomed into a beautiful union.
