Orlando and LaSheay met in Lisle, IL when their mutual friends invited Orlando to their son’s homecoming football game of the season in 2013. As their friends were in the parking lot, getting items out of their vehicle for the game’s homecoming after party. This is when Orlando spotted LaSheay in the parking lot for the first-time getting items out of the vehicle. He asked his mutual friend, "Who is that! Once told who LaSheay was he made his way over to her vehicle to assist her with her items. When Orlando approached LaSheay he asked could he help her with anything. LaSheay was flattered and said yes! Orlando carried all her items for the party to the second level of the event. As they walked to the elevator. LaSheay asked her friend about Orlando and Orlando asked his friend about LaSheay. Once everyone got onto the elevator it stopped functioning. Trapping everyone on board the elevator. During the encounter Orlando makes side talk by speaking to LaSheay saying a pretty girl like you got a ring on your finger. She responded with “do you see a ring?” The elevator began to work again, and everyone exited the elevator. Orlando carried all LaSheay items to designated location. That would be their last encounter 6 months later. In February 1st, 2014 Orlando and LaSheay would cross paths again during an event the same mutual friends had. It snowed heavily that day which caused them to both arrive at the event late. LaSheay was sitting in the VIP area when Orlando arrived, he asked her friend if she was there. LaSheay friend pointed her out and said, “you see over there with the cup in her hands and her titties out!” Orlando said yeah, I see her! He walks up to the VIP area and asks LaSheay do you remember me? LaSheay responds yes of course! We talked, drank, danced and vibed the entire night. We've been together ever since that day.

OFF THE TOP I KNEW “STRAIGHT TO THE POINT” Me and Sheay always knew the number 8 or 18 always followed us everywhere we went. On top of her b-day being April 18th. If we were to get a hotel the number would pop up as 2418, or room 018, when we purchased the house, it had the number 8 in it. Smdh so I’m like WTF?!?! EVERTIME, I turn around I’m seeing the number 18 or 8. What really killed me was when I reach in my pocket, and I only had $18 in my pocket. That’s when I really realized 8 or 18 was our number. So, for the people that know Big O, I always get up early in the morning. When people are sleeping, I’m up “thinking” of course of Sheay, family, and money. SIKE LOL. No real talk my brain is always racing so I’m already knowing that 8 or 18 has always been our number. It’s one more number out there that pops up a lot but y’all can’t know that one sorry LOL. As time went on, I knew I had to put a play together right then and there. I knew Sheay was the one I wanted to settle down with. Sheay has all the characteristics that a man wants in a woman, OTHER than her attitude which is horrible at times! But I tune that out of course, close the back door. LOL LOL. I’m out the door. When I realize what dates I wanted to Propose I started putting things in place of the location which was in Arizona. I decided to rent out a nice Airbnb that slept 10 to 20 people. It was nice with a pool in the backyard, when I tell you it was nice that house was EXTREMLY nice. I had a special caterer that cooked every food that you could name on the menu. From sea food to soul food and it was delicious. All you could eat crab legs and soul food, a damn buffet at our location. When everyone was eating every woman and man stomach was hanging out their clothes. LOL. Just what I wanted… LOL LOL. Day 2 we had good food and played grown folks’ games and enjoyed the atmosphere and the lovely company we had. Great music playing and everyone in and out of the pool enjoying the vibe of Az. Every day leading up to the proposal I gave Sheay a piece of jewelry. Day 1 a diamond bracelet and necklace. Day 2 Sheay woke up to breakfast with a pair of diamond earrings and of course when I proposed she woke up to her diamond pair shaped ring, that I would say “looks very elegant”. Proposal Day 8/18/18 at 8:18 P.M. The day of the proposal me and LaSheay went to go get us some massages at a nice romantic spa in Arizona. We arrived back at the Airbnb, and no one was inside. So, at this point Sheay freaking out trying to figure out why everyone left us and didn’t tell us anything, SO KNOW she was talking shit about people leaving us. Now as we were approaching the back door to go outside the lights pop on and there everyone was surprising her and embracing her with love. Rose peddles falling from the sky with everyone smiling and watching us enjoy our moment. As we are walking on the ground there are rose peddles saying will you marry me. Now the time has come for me to drop down on this bad knee and propose to the woman of my life, so I ask LaSheay will she marry me, and she said YES! After that I told her we locked in like a 30-year mortgage then after that we gonna refi… LOL LOL and enclosing right now till this day she gets a whole lot of kisses from the number one and only
