Ja’Quan and Camisha met the modern way: by sending a DM on Twitter in 2012. They began to get to know each other by texting and talking on the phone. After a few months, what started off as romantic interest, turned into friendship. Ja’Quan even jokingly told Camisha that they would be best friends. Camisha didn’t believe him, but funnily enough, that’s exactly what happened. Ja’Quan and Camisha continued to keep in touch on and off again for the next 3 years before finally meeting up in person at their favorite restaurant, Olive Garden. Their friendship really solidified their senior year of high school and they continued to be there for each other. Camisha left for college to Jacksonville, FL in 2016, but the two promised to remain in touch and remain friends. They did just that over the next 3 years despite all the challenges of life and becoming an adult, even with Ja’Quan moving to Statesboro, GA in August of 2018. In March of 2019, after some convincing from Camisha, Ja’Quan decided to visit Jacksonville to spend a weekend together. They had a great time together going to the fair, the beach, and eating out. The weekend ultimately ended in the two sharing a kiss and starting conversations about being more than friends. The following month, Camisha visited Ja’Quan in Statesboro, and they officially started dating after Ja’Quan asked Camisha to be his girlfriend on April 26. They have been together ever since! Ja’Quan moved back to Augusta, GA in 2020 and Camisha graduated college with her Bachelors and soon after started graduate school. The two remained together long distance for 3 years, throughout the pandemic, school, and the start of new careers. In May of 2022, Camisha graduated with her Masters and decided to move back to Augusta to be closer to her family and Ja’Quan. The couple moved in together, adopted a puppy, and started their life together!
March 12, 2023, Ja’Quan decided to surprise Camisha with a date night. He drove them to Ruth’s Chris Steak House in Columbia, SC. Camisha was suspicious, but knew of Ja’Quan’s love for steaks and assumed he just wanted a good steak that night. However, as the night went on, she realized this would be a special night. After bringing out a customized desert tray, Ja’Quan popped the question – and Camisha said yes! Now, after nearly 13 years of knowing each other and 5 years together, they can’t wait to tie the knot and celebrate with all of their favorite people!
