We're Getting Married!

We met through my mother, who worked in the same clinic as Kwiesi. Whenever he'd see my picture on my mom's desk, Kwiesi would jokingly tell her how he planned on marrying me one day. In August 2010, my mom decided to invite him to a family function and introduce us officially. No sparks flew, but we remained good acquaintances throughout the years.

Fast forward to 2013, I threw a Halloween party and on a whim, invited Kwiesi. We had such a great time, he asked me out on an official date and we've been inseparable since.

Thanksgiving 2017. Our families came to our place for our first time hosting for the holidays. I joked earlier in the week about him proposing on Thanksgiving, but didn't think much of it (a part of me thought it would happen on our upcoming LA trip). As dinner wrapped up, he suggested that we thank our families for coming-which was strange because he's never done that anytime we've hosted family gatherings. He walks me out into the living room and proceeds to get down on one knee and proposed!
