We met while I was on vacation in Barbados. I was there for a wedding and he was living there. It wasn’t love at first sight ( at least not for me lol). We developed a friendship over those few days which turned into months and continued into years. We kept in contact but did not see each other until I went to Guyana in 2015.

We got engaged after returning home from my friend’s wedding. We had an hour drive home so we took that time to listen to music and through ideas around like we normally do. The closer we got to the house the quoted he go, I did not think anything of it seeing that we had a long day. When we arrived home he went to his room where he later called me.. when I went downstairs he was nervous. I kept asking him if everything was okay,. That’s when he got on one knee and proceeded with his speech. Between all the “omg, omg”, and tears I have no idea what he said lol. If you know Yolande then you know it was something romantic.
