“ We’re getting married!”

On July 2019, I was working as a CNA at my job (Marshall Pines). Toya was also, working there as a CNA but was still in job training . That particular night during the night shift, a couple of close co-workers came up to me & said that a new girl had just started working there & was inquiring about whether or not I was available. So I responded... back by saying, yes I’m single & it was okay for them to give out my number. The next day, Toya & I got to know each other very well. From then on, we became best -friends/co-workers & hung out together, at work & after work hours & before we knew it strong feelings started to develop. One particular night, we both decided to go to a hookah lounge located, in Ga & that evening Toya & I made our friendship deeper & she asked me, to be her girlfriend with a beautiful promise ring & I said yes I’ll be your girlfriend & sealed the deal with our first kiss . Then a few months later, on November 25, 2019 I invited Toya to join me, with my loving family in Charleston SC for Thanksgiving Dinner. She said... she would love too & later that day, we went out to the Tangler Outlets with my mom, grandmother, nana, cousin etc. for some Black Friday shopping. I told my girlfriend, Toya that I always wanted to find me a birthstone bracelet & so she suggested that we go look into Kay’s Jewelry store & as I was admiring some bracelets in the showcase to my surprise Toya tapped me on my shoulder & with a beautiful (May) birthstone diamond ring 💍 she proposed to me, & tears ran slowly down my cheeks I was in total shock! 😭 My family & everyone else in the store including the sales associates, were so happy for us & clapping & saying congrats, it was a day I will forever cherish deep in my heart forever!!!!!!🥰
