We met at Macedonia Baptist Church many years ago while we were both young-ins in grade school. I've always thought he was cute and had a little secret crush. Out of the respect of our four year age difference, he couldn't see me in a romantic way back then. However, he always admired me and knew I was going to grow up to be a beautiful woman. As the years pass without seeing each other, we came back in each others lives around the year 2015 as adults. He reached out to me on Facebook and we planned to meet up surrounded by a few friends and family. The moment we saw each other, we both cheesed from ear to ear and gave each other a big warm hug. That's when I knew he knew that I wasn't so little anymore and that he was looking at the beautiful woman he knew I was going to be. As we talked, laughed and flirted the night away, that’s pretty much when we thought, "Okay. This could be something."

It was after midnight at our beautiful home. I was downstairs in the den lying half asleep on the sofa. He enters the den, gently touches me on the shoulder and says, "Baby are you awake?" I then roll over to face him. It was a little dark in the room, but I still saw him. He proceeds to get on one knee then one knee becomes two. He takes my hand and starts spilling his heart out. He pleads to me that he didn't want to continue this relationship without me becoming his wife. Suddenly, he asked me to marry him. I was so joyfully surprised, I replied "Are you for real?" He then pulls this gorgeous ring out and as my tears started to flow, I enthusiastically say, "YES!!" We embraced each other with love and exchanged feelings of admiration. I was so overjoyed, it was hard for me to go back to sleep knowing that we were engaged. We're so excited to celebrate this next chapter in our lives with you. See you in P-Cola!
