Our Wedding

We originally met in middle school. I remember I had a class with him in 7th grade. I thought he was super cute so I had one of my friends ask him out for me🙈. Big shocker here, but he said NO. Then he moved away a year or so later. He returned in 10th grade to my school and I remember seeing him sit in the lunch room and I thought to myself, “ugh, why is he back here?”. I do admit that I hold grudges lol! He was sitting with one of my friends and me being the drama queen that I am, I purposefully went over there to say hello to my friend since Darien was sitting there, just so he could see me. He admitted to me later on in our relationship that he did think I was cute when he saw me that day. A year goes by and we ended up having Health Science together ANDDD we sat right next to each other. Of course that’s how fate works. I was in a relationship at the time that was not a good one. Darien and I became very good friends. I let him cheat off of me in class, etc.. lol. We would text and talk all the time. We ended up falling for each other and I was off and on with the boyfriend I had. Well, we ended up splitting up and Darien and I only became closer. We were best friends. Finally, I pressured him into asking me out because by this point, we both admitted we liked each other. It was senior year at this time. A few months after we got together, I was involved in a pretty bad motor vehicle accident. I ended up staying in the ER for over 5-6 hours. Would you know that Darien and Angela stayed in the waiting room waiting for me to leave, that whole time? It was in that moment that I knew Darien was the one. I knew I wanted to marry him and spend the rest of my life with him. Fast forward to 7 years later, when my best friend asked me to be his wife. This has been the easiest yes I have ever said in my life, and I cannot wait to celebrate it with all of our family and friends.❤️ Enjoy this very first ever picture of us together, before we started dating.

Noni is my best friend and soon to be sister-in-law. But realistically, I like her more than I like my own brother. I’m so excited for her to join our family🩷

Q + A

Travel

This is the oldest unrestored plantation house in America that is still open to the public. Built in the 1700s. It is a very beautiful tour and the grounds/gardens is very beautiful as well. Especially in spring. I highly recommend touring this house if you love history like Darien and I do!
