Their love story as shared by Garicka:
Our love story started at Florida Memorial College again in 2009. Although we knew of one another throughout these faculty days, our paths by no means actually crossed in a significant means. It wasn’t till 2011, when Dami had already graduated and was working within the monetary assist workplace, that destiny determined it was time for us to attach. All of it occurred on one atypical however life-changing day. I walked into the monetary assist workplace, dealing with some enterprise as traditional. After helping me with what I got here for, he seized the second, checked out me with a smile, and boldly requested, “So, Ms. Blue, when are you going to let me take you out?” I used to be caught off guard however pleasantly stunned. So, I responded with out hesitation, “You may have my quantity.”
That straightforward change set the wheels of our love story in movement. What began with informal conversations and playful banter grew into one thing deeper as we spent extra time collectively. Dinners, lengthy talks, shared desires, and laughter constructed a bond that felt easy and pure. It appeared like our story was writing itself, chapter by chapter. However, like every journey, ours wasn’t with out challenges. In March 2015, after virtually 4 years of shared moments, we parted methods. Dami moved to Houston, looking for a contemporary begin, whereas I stayed again in Miami. The space between us wasn’t simply bodily—it felt like our story had been placed on pause. Although we tried to maneuver ahead in our separate lives, the connection we had wasn’t so simply forgotten. We stayed in contact sporadically through the years, sharing fast messages and updates, till late 2017, when God determined it was time for our paths to cross once more.
What began as rekindled conversations slowly blossomed into one thing acquainted but stronger. We realized that irrespective of the place life had taken us, we had been at all times meant to seek out our means again to one another. By 2019, Dami knew it was time to make it official. He deliberate an unforgettable proposal at a 2Baba (AKA 2Face) and Falz live performance, orchestrating every little thing right down to the smallest element. With the assistance of the legendary 2Baba, who paused his efficiency midway by singing “African Queen” after Dami playfully pushed me out to the entrance. 2Baba then known as Dami out and handed me the microphone. The gang went WILD as he obtained on one knee and requested me to spend the remainder of my life with him.
It was a second straight out of a dream, and, in fact, I stated sure. Shortly after, we tied the knot and began planning our dream marriage ceremony celebration in Jamaica for 2020. However because the world is aware of all too nicely, COVID-19 had different plans. Although our large celebration was halted indefinitely, it didn’t dampen our spirits or the enjoyment of our union. We knew that when the time was proper, we might have the celebration we at all times envisioned. Now, 6 years later, right here we’re. The timing is lastly excellent, and we’re able to have a good time our love in the way in which it at all times deserved. Our story has been certainly one of resilience, progress, and unshakable love, and we will’t wait to proceed writing it collectively.
