What do two smart aleck FaceBook posts get you? The Crump Beach Wedding! You heard right folks, we met through a FaceBook Group, Real Black Love! Here is the funny part, we didn't even meet on the dating portion! LOL! We both want to thank the young female stranger that posted a innocent question asking "Where are all the good men at?" Do not judge her grammar just be thankful! Travis responded "ATL" . . . to which Eboney sarcastically said "Where?" After meeting several ATL fellas, Eboney was not convinced ATL had much to offer, thankfully Travis changed her mind. That FaceBook post lead to Travis sliding in my DM's . . . LOL I have always wanted to say that. But no seriously that happened and we have been inseparable ever since. Travis sent a sweet can I get to know you message and I was instantly drawn to those light eyes and pretty teeth. In fact when we first met, I used to send my girlfriends daily pictures of his beautiful teeth, they got sick of me quickly. We dated long distance, with back and forth trips between The DMV (DC/MD/VA area) and ATL, but that got old real quick . . . and expensive. We decided to let God lead us . . . nah let's be real God decided He was going to lead us and we were just along for the ride. Travis was offered a job in Sterling, VA . . . just a few short miles from ME! A job offer without an interview or anything . . . imagine that! They must have seen his light eyes and pretty teeth too . . . oh wait no that's just me! That offer led to our last flight . . . Eboney's one way ticket to Gary, Indiana to meet Travis' family and drive back to VA to start our lives together. Yep it happened just like that . . .over night . . . with lots of prayer and sacrifice. But Won't He Do It!
Secrets, secrets are no fun, secret, secrets surprise someone! Picture this it was June 23rd 2018 . . . a rainy summer day in DC! Early that morning, Travis encouraged me to go get my hair done and put on a cute outfit to meet him and the twins in DC. So that I did! I got my hair done, went to the mall with Rik and Jeanine, in search of a cute outfit. Well I was unsuccessful! As with everyday here in the DMV there was traffic and I was running late to get home, get dressed, and make it to DC! We called and told him we were running a bit late . . . he was elated and told us to take an extra hour since it was still raining. At that point we were on the road headed to DC . . . after rushing around . . . you got it right I was cursing him out in my mind . . . all I could say was "why didn't he tell me we had extra time, I could have taken time picking out an outfit, ugh I just don't know why he changes things up at the last minute . . . etc etc etc." Oh didn't God have fun dealing with me later! We arrived at The New Wharf in DC . . . I called Travis and he said, meet me by The Flame on the pier . . . again I am fussing! "Why does he have us out here in this rain! Doesn't he know what is going to happen to my hair when it gets wet, and I just got it done! I don't know where the freaking pier is, why can't he just come get us." Yep God dealt with me . . . man I gave Him a lot of material didn't I. Needless to say we found The Pier and The Eternal Flame! Here is the kicker . . . as soon as we stepped foot on The Pier the rain began to let up. When we made it to the end it had stopped and Travis greeted me with a big hug and kiss . . .and then he remarked "I'm so glad this rain has stopped because I can hear your mouth now, fussing about your hair!" I could not confirm or deny. He asked me to have a seat at the flame and told me he loved me and wanted to ask me something! The sun came out for just that moment and pop goes the question, I said YES!
