I love telling this story, people always ask “How the hell did the two of
you… one from Detroit, the other Lagos, Nigeria, manage to find each
other in San Antonio, TX?”

Records show that @IgboSwag started following me, @DaRealChrisReed on
twitter sometime in July … he answered a blind tweet that I sent out in
August. I had just made the decision to re-launch my boutique PR firm and
was going to do a twitpic tour of my day. He’d obviously been amused and
invited me to happy hour at a bar here in San Antonio. Coming from Detroit
I am basically fearless, so I accepted his invitation. I mean, why not? I
had just moved to Texas and hadn’t been on a date in months.

When he walked into Azuca, a downtown San Antonio bar popular for mojitos,
I swear he took my breath away. The man was tall, dark with a beautiful
smile, just gorgeous. And after 5 hours of conversation I knew he was the
one … all I kept thinking was “he’s perfect”. A week later we knew that
we would be together forever. There was no chase, no back and forth and no
doubt about it… just a tad bit of drama, but nothing to sweat. Our
mindset was as if we had gone through our lives, letting nothing bother us
… just patiently waiting for us to meet each other. And when we did
meet, everything was put into perspective.

A little under 6 months after meeting, Jan. 3rd, 2012 @DaRealChrisReed (787
followers) and @IgboSwag (205 followers) became #TeamOgba … *yup, I met
my HUSBAND on Twitter! *
