It was a random Tuesday night in August 2020—one of those nights that didn’t seem special at first but ended up changing everything. Atlanta had just started opening back up after months of shutdowns, and people were finally stepping out again, eager to reconnect.

​

That night, Daniel got a last-minute invite from his cousin to grab drinks with some friends. At the same time, T’Keyah was convinced by her friend—who, coincidentally, was also connected to Daniel’s cousin—to come out for the night. Neither of them knew that this seemingly casual night would change their lives forever.

From the moment they started talking at the restaurant, the connection was undeniable. The conversation flowed effortlessly as they talked, drank and ate, as if they were in their own little world. Even though they talked for hours, somehow, they never exchanged numbers.

​

A few days later, Daniel couldn’t stop thinking about T’Keyah and that rare feeling of meeting someone who just gets you. So, he asked his cousin about her, and one message led to another, numbers were exchanged, and that first call turned into a first date. From there, everything just clicked. It wasn’t just chemistry—it was something deeper.

​

Over the past four years, their love has only grown stronger, proving that some connections are simply meant to be. Then, on May 12, 2025, Daniel got down on one knee and asked T’Keyah to marry him, and with no hesitation, no doubts, T’Keyah responded with a heartfelt yes.

​

Now, they’re counting down the days until they say “I do,” ready to start the next chapter of their love story, surrounded by the people who matter most.
