From Her :Jake and I met through a mutual friend and at the time I thought, that was luck. We first began really getting to know one another because of a test we needed to pass for class. He had taken the test before me and gave me all his notes, again, I thought that was luck. On this day, as we talked about the test, I noticed we were semi- dressed alike, I thought that was a coincidence. Afterwards, we began to grow closer as friends, and I've always thought I was pretty lucky for that friendship. However, I was wrong, being his friend, his child's mother, his lover, his supporter, his fiance has not been luck at all; It has been fate. Our very own love story written and signed by God, who put Jake in the same circle of friends, same classes and even same clothes, allowing us to come together as one. From Him: Cassie and I share many mutual friends. Later we realized we shared the same history class. Because I was the scholar, she would often borrow my notebook to copy my notes before the test. In these few interactions I got a chance to really get to know her. We began talking more and sharing our childhood stories. Connected through conversation I started to think to myself, I'm going to make the first approach. We both were at Drake's concert and he was performing "The Best I ever Had' she was near the gated part of the concert, I jumped the gate separating us and got my first kiss. I knew then, I would never allow anything to separate us. From my Homie, to my Lover, to Cobey's Mother, she's truly the Best I ever Had.

It was the night before Christmas, and all through the house children were running and time was running out. A few friends was over and conversation got intense, the clock struck 12 and Jake was convinced. Lets prepare for what was already meant, Lets open Christmas presents in a series of events. If Cassie answers correctly she can unwrap a gift of her choice, but each game is timed so respond fast, if not Jake will be the only one with the last laugh. She out beat the clock and chose the smaller box, a pair of Givenchy Boots, WOW babe you Rock. You the best, he said its one final test answer these question about me correct and you'll see whats next. Of-course she passed and she opened the next box, alphabet letters with a confused face, Jake replied, let me set everything in place. She guessed the letters correctly and their revealed a message and Jake on one knee, Cassie will you Marry Me?

The pandemic affected us as it did many others. Luckily the pause in the world did not end our love story. On August 29th, 2020, we affirmed our love and union to each other and our family and were married! As the world resumes its normalcy, we are elated to be able to share this momentous moment with all of you!
