we found love

Our story began when we were sophomores at Jackson State University in the Fall of 2014 . We both were in Student Government and were paired as escorts for our school football games. Every game we laughed and shared stories all while watching our friendship grow. Over time we became best friends and did almost everything together. Little did we know, one day we would be much more than friends. We officially began dating on July 1, 2016.

On May 21, 2018, Bennie asked me to go on a date. He said that we were going to the movies. We did what we usually do when going to the movies and stopped on the way to get snacks and drinks to sneak in. When we got to the theater we walked straight in the movies and didn't even buy tickets (Suspicion started here). When we got into the theatre, I turned my flashlight on because it was hard to see. Bennie immediately asked me to turn the light off. Confused, I put it away and grabbed his hand for guidance to our seats. I then noticed that no one was in the theater besides a couple of people on the very front row (Weird). As we got settled, the previews started. The 2nd preview almost looked like a wedding commercial (Surprising). A couple of seconds later, Bennie popped up on the movie screen (Dope). He had pre recorded sweet words and a proposal to me. I sat there in shock, awe, and happiness. He grabbed my hand and we walked to the bottom of the theater only to be welcomed by my close family and friends. He than got on one knee, and of-course, I SAID YES!
