We initially met in the Singles Ministry at a retreat in 1997, and later served in the Prayer Ministry together. We knew each other and were cordial, but nothing more. Little did Scheretta know that Andre' had an eye on her. When she left to attend another ministry, Andre thought that opportunity was forever gone. Fast forward to January 2022. A mutual friend, who's wedding we were both in as bridesmaid and groomsman, re-introduced us. Soon after we went out a few months, Andre' made it clear that he didn't want to be friend-zoned, but had an interest in a long-term relationship. He then began to show up, level up, and win Scheretta's heart. On September 17th, he proposed. She was truly caught off guard, as she was convinced he would propose on her birthday, two weeks later. Yet, she unhesitantly said "YES!" Following the proposal, Andre' serenaded Scheretta with snippets of five beautiful instrumentals on his saxophones.
