Dawww, you can't stop their love! Do I need to memorize openings to be a chess player? Semi serious question.

Not really for a while, I think. I'm around 1400 online and only know like 3-4 moves into a few of my favorite openings.

You really only need to focus on chess "principles" to get started, like why it's good to control the middle, and developing all of your pieces before moving one twice, etc.
