We’re getting married!

On July 6th 2018, after a very long night at work, my coworkers and I decided to stop by a nearby bar to have a drink (or 4 lol) and unwind. We had heard Masa14 had a rooftop bar and seating area that would allow us to be able to talk, and music so we could also dance. We walked over to Masa14, and upon entering, I immediately locked eyes with the security guard at the top of the stairs. We went upstairs and I asked him how his night was going. He smiled the most amazing smile and said “Better now”. I laughed and sat down with my friends. Throughout the night we continued to make eye contact, and I thought he was very handsome. I even told my best friend, Jessica “Don’t you think he’s super cute!?” to which she responded “I think he’s right behind you” I turned around and he flashed another breathtaking smile and he walked back to his post by the bar. It was my turn to order a round of drinks, 6 strawberry lemonades. I saw the security guard and asked him if he could help me carry the drinks back to the table. He said “only if you tell me your name” meanwhile cash money was taking over the 99s and the 2000’s, so when i responded with “Brittany like Spears”, he heard “Winnie like the Bear” which has been his nickname for me ever since. Right before we left I asked for his name and number. He happily gave me both and we have been inseperable since.

After months and months of talking to my friends and planning the perfect public proposal, Jamal ended up getting down on one knee in our bedroom. It was Taco Tuesday and I was 8 months pregnant. He came into the room with a plate of tacos, and asked me to hold the plate. He pulled a ring out of his pocket, got down on one knee and proceeded to make me ugly cry. He wipped my tears and explained that these tears weren’t for everyone to see. That moment was ours and it will never be forgotten. I thought i wanted a public proposal but to be honest, I wouldn’t trade the intimacy of that moment for the world.
