We met at Bible Study at Shiloh Baptist Church. Cicely was visiting because she wasn't a member...yet. Her dad, being the connector that he was, introduced her to Allardyce because Cicely was working in a community that could use some youth activities and he knew that Ajay played baseball. Little did he know, he was hooking us up! Weeks later, after Shiloh's Christmas play, we were at a kickback, and we just chatted the whole evening and we have been connected ever since!
Surprising Cicely can be hard...she likes to be in the know! Ajay worked diligently with Cicely's mom and sister to pull off two celebrations for her birthday. But what they didn't know was Ajay was ready to change the game. So in front of their family and friends, after singing Happy Birthday in the only version we recognize, Ajay got down on one knee and proposed! Of course Cicely said yes or we wouldn't be on this webpage!
