In 2016, the trend on Facebook was to make a To Be Honest post. I made a post on Facebook and Demetris liked it. I sent a private message with his to be honest and the rest is history. Demetris had a plan to propose on Fourth of July. He had already purchased the ring and wanted to propose in front of our family. However, the nerves got the best of him and on June 26th, 2022 Demetris was pacing back in forth in his parents living room and I could tell he was up to something. He fixed me a plate of food and we went to his room to eat. He wanted to play a game he had seen TikTok, the 10 second game. The object of the game was to close your eyes and your partner will do something to you and you have to guess what it was they did. He closed his eyes first and guessed what i did. He had me close my eyes, while my eyes were closed and i was counting to 10 when i got to 6 i realized what was happening. He kept telling me to open my eyes but i was already crying. After a few times of asking I finally opened them . He was down on one knee with a ring in his hand. He asked me to marry him. I continued to cry and I said yes! Demetris and I are so excited to share our big day with all of you! Love, The Howards #NewHowardInTown
