I was a twenty-something, University of Alabama graduate, pursing my masters at the time through Troy University. I checked my messages that morning and this is what was in my inbox. The date was July 2, 2008
Branden

I replied

Branden
I'm good babygirl. So I was reading your profile and this is what I gathered. You're a GI Jane, Prissy Diva, with a Condolisa mindset. I really dont know if that goes...lol.
****** This was the start of us. Branden was real iffy and didn't return messages for weeks at a time. My guess is he had a girlfriend and/or he was used to females sweating him....Everyone that knows me knows I don't follow up behind a man. Til this day he denies both (go figure). I went about my way, dated a bit, and reconnected with Branden May of 2009. He asked me on a date, I agreed, and cancelled via text message. (He's still salty about that!) A month passed by and he called again. We went on our first date the first weekend in June. Now..........mind you, I thought Branden attended UA. I saw pics of him in Alabama championship t shirts, on campus, and with several Kappas or so I thought, from UA . I did not find out until our 3rd date that he went to Jacksonville State. I was terrified. He could have been a serial killer. I figured I knew him in passing since we were friends on myspace....WRONG! Branden McCain was a complete stranger. After I proceeded to wipe the cheese off of my chin after this revelation, I figured if he hadn't drove me to an empty field yet and cut me up, he wasn't going to. This is how I know this was God. If I would have known we didn't attend the same college, I would have never went out with him. Period. God knows I'm a scary cat so He did what He needed to do to make me and this wonderful man meet. So....first date June, I moved to Birmingham in August for my current job, and Branden asked me to be his forever December 26th . I became "The Mrs" August 7th 2010.
Whenever we tell people where we met, the reaction is priceless. And they always say "I didn't believe those people on the commercials!" It's true. People meet on the internet and marry. We are those people and I wouldn't have had it any other way. Don't limit yourself on how love finds you. You never know what could happen! :)
