Feadel & I met Memorial Day weekend 2021 at a local pub while playing spades…. In the mist of smack talking to our opponents the sparks ignited… We exchanged numbers and over the next several weeks became inseparable…. In June of 2021 we embarked on a booze trip we previously booked as two single adults but now going as a couple. We had so much fun it was like we had known each others for years. July 2021 we moved with each other and by his birthday in early August he expressed to his Mom & best friend, he was ready to propose. He later asked to make all the plans for my birthday on October 11, 2021. This control was hard to release as I have plan my party every year, but this felt different so I said “ok.” With the help of family & my best friends he planned a night I would NEVER FORGET !! The party was amazing, with a host of family and friends in attendance, my favorite, food, dessert, drinks, and DJ. The most DOPE part was when the Saint Boogie Bass Band a local band that blend Hip-Hop, Pop, Rock, Jazz, Blues and Funk through horns and percussion to give a pure New Orleans 2nd line feel. 2009 my mother passed away from complication of breast cancer and New Orleans was her 2nd home. As the band played surrounded by loved ones and pictures of my Mother, grandmother he got down on 1 knee as asked me to marry him, and I said yes !!! Our love story may seem quick however when you know, you know, which is why the song that best represents our love is “The Light” by Common.….As It dont take a whole day to recognize sunshine.
