How We Met

Party party party!!!

Aqueelah's Version We met at a party that his friend Andral had. I noticed him walk by me and I went up to him and asked him if I still made him blush(based on previous social media convo). He smiled gave me a hug and then offered me a drink. I said no I'll have a bottle of water. He went to the bar got me the water then we took a picture. Ever since then he's been hooked. Garry’s Version       It was in 2008, I was promoting my brother’s annual birthday bash. I stumbled upon a beautiful young woman’s twitter, no it wasn’t Ashanti(hahahaha), it was @Ms3yecandy (Aqueelah).  Not only did I think she was beautiful but after combing thru her previous tweets she actually had a head on her shoulders and a lot of the same interests as me.  I invited her to come to my brother’s party hoping she would come so we can finally meet one another.  She didn’t make it. I was secretly crushed but greatly determined, so I continued to converse with her days after the event.  I think after some time she had a feeling I was attracted to her.  I remember I wrote her: “idk but you always make me blush”. Then one night while in a party I felt a gentle tap on my shoulder with a whisper of “do I make you blush now?” I turned around and it was her. This was my beginning of forever.  

The Proposal

Aruba - 08/21/2016

We went to Aruba for vacation. We were tired from travelling all day so we went to sleep. The next day we got up with plans to tour the hotel and visit the private island that they had. When we reached the private island he was exploring then called me over to where he was and in the sand, he wrote, "will you marry me?" took me a second to realize what he wrote because of his bad handwriting but once I got it I said yes, yes, yes and then we were officially engaged. We're so excited for this next chapter in our lives and can't wait to start it with all of you present. See you in Jamaica!

For all the days along the way
