WE'RE GETTING MARRIED!

In January 2008, in Upper Marlboro, Maryland two transfer students met in Ms. Hammond's first period biology class. The moment they met, there was a spark. After a few months of being lab partners they became good friends. On the last day of school we dissected a frog and had an absolute blast, not dissecting the frog, but talking about their summer plans. They planned to meet each other in the cafeteria at lunch time. But that did not happen. Moving forward to Fall of 2008, they looked for each other in the hallways for weeks. But, did not run into one another until late-September. Finally, Kadeem and Angel exchanged phone numbers and spent months talking on the phone…way past their bed times. Their conversations were filled with laughter as they continued to get to know one another. Twas the night before Christmas, Kadeem and Angel decided to make their relationship official. Even though they were so young, the love was real. Fast forward to April 2009, Kadeem gave Angel a promise ring with a simple promise to one day marry her. Now 11 years later…that promise is being fulfilled.

At the end of 2018, we purchased our first home together...this moment was a huge accomplishment for us both. On June 15, 2019, around sunset, Kadeem proposed in our lovingly little home....just us two getting ready to turn the page for a whole new book of life.
