DJ Play Me a Love Song

Katrina and Reggie met at a 70’s-themed party where he was spinning tunes. She was in the market for a great deejay so she asked for his card. Their conversation quickly moved from business to pleasure.

Sharing Is Caring

Katrina and Reggie never felt nervous around each other. “I thought it was funny, on our first date, when he was already comfortable enough with me to start eating off my plate,” says Katrina. “It was the beginning of our love language. Ever since, I always leave something on my plate for him to finish for me.”

The Holiday Spirit

“Holidays are very important to me,” says Katrina. “Our first Christmas was wonderful. Reggie let me do whatever I wanted. I decorated his house with lights, and trees, and whatever else I could find, ruining his bachelor pad.”

The Place Where it All Began
