We met on a blind date outside the main gate of Benedict College's campus in Columbia, South Carolina . Absent of significant social media presence, we literally had no clue how the other person looked before agreeing to the blind date. At the tender age of 19, our first date was at McDonald's on Elmwood Avenue in Columbia. On January 20, 2009, again on the campus of Benedict College in dorm room 110, we officially became a couple. Exactly nine years later, on January 20, 2018, we hosted an engagement dinner in Sandy Springs, Georgia with some close friends and family.
On December 1, 2017, Antwan, Jeremy and close friends of the wedding party gathered at the couple's home. After orchestrating what Jeremy thought was a group icebreaker, Antwan got down on one knee and proposed to Jeremy... and he emotionally said YES! On December 2, 2017, we celebrated our new engagement at our 3rd annual holiday party. Exactly 1 year later, we will celebrate our wedding day, on December 1, 2018.
