Our love tale begins where a lot more do these days... Tinder! With a couple of corny pick up lines (from both of us might I add) and a 10 minute coffee date that was largely made up of Jerome getting pulled over for his car not being registered (yes this is true), our story began! After a couple dates we planned a trip to NY to see our favorite band play live, and visited Niagara Falls. After just four short, but amazing months, we found out we were expecting Scarlett. It was decided between us that we were in it for the long haul, and we wouldn't change it for anything. Our love not only for our daughter, but for each other has only grown more since then, and it doesn't show any signs of stopping now.
In November of 2019, we went on a cruise to the beautiful Turks and Caicos Islands, and the Dominican Republic. Like most "girlfriends" after two years together, and a child, I had wanted the ring! Jerome for a year and a half had kept telling me "wait until its warm, you'll get your ring!". So I waited, summer came and went, and I was convinced he had decided he didn't want to marry me anymore... then, somewhere in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean, on a WARM, breezy, starry night, Jerome pulled me into the middle of the ships main deck up onto a raised platform, and proposed! There were a few spectators, but by this time most of the ship was asleep or in the clubs, and he had made sure there was a crew member recording the entire event for keepsake. When he proposed the first thing he said was "well, Its warm" and I knew right away!
