We first became acquainted with each other around Feb 2015 through mutual friends. We ran into each other in a local Winn-Dixie in Meridian, MS Mothers Day weekend of that same year and just began to converse. I invited him to come out with me to a local nightclub that night, but he didn't come due to a prior engagement. The next day, I invited him to a family dinner for a home cooked meal (he loves to eat) at my cousin's house and it just took off from there. Mr. Right could definitely be in the next aisle ladies!

He had collaborated with some of my friends for a nice surprise dinner with the proposal attached on a Friday night (2/10/17), but that fell through at the last minute. I had an idea that something was going on because my friends had let some comments slip out and we had been discussing marriage, rings, etc. So I was really bummed when the plan fell through and I could tell he was too. So, the next night (2/11/17), we were sitting at our "talking table" ( i.e. the dinner table, lol) and we were discussing life, our relationship, etc when he gets up from the table and goes in the guest room (I thought he went to the bathroom). He comes back out with this bag, places it on the table, and says "Happy Valentine's Day boo." I give him the side eye like "But you already gave me my gift." He tells me to open it and inside is a ring box. Before I could open it, he took it out of my hand, got down on one knee, and asked me to be his wife. He had given me the previous Valentine's Day gift to distract me from the real gift. No one was there but me and him in our workout attire. Perfect.
