It all started in February of 2012 when we were formally introduced to one another by mutual friends. I say "formally" introduced because after we actually met, we both remembered one another from one of our classes during our freshman year of college in 2006. I remembered him as "the guy with the yellow and black S10" and he remembered me as the "pregnant girl who wore the colored beaded jewelry". Funny huh! LOL! We still laugh about this til this day. Anywho, at the time, Dedrick was attending Ole Miss and I was pursuing my career as a paralegal in Southaven, MS. Our first date was at Applebee's in Oxford on a Friday night and from that day forward we've been inseparable. Talks about marriage began around 2015. We both knew what we wanted in life so we'd discussed it a few times here and there. We even attended our first wedding together in July of 2016! In 2018, the subject began to come up more often while around family but I didn't think much of it. It was July 25, 2018 when Dedrick proposed to me while in Jamaica on the beach! I was completely clueless and had no idea of what was about to happen! It was so special and I still get butterflies all over again when I think about it! We are so blessed to have one another and thank God daily for bringing us together!
