We met in the fall of 2012, at Tennessee State University. Our first date was at a fast food restaurant, located down the street from our school’s campus. We shared an order of cheese fries and laughed all night! Since that day, we’ve been stuck to one another for nearly 10 years! And now we will be moving into the next phase of our lives together! We’re so happy to share this moment with all the people we love!
The day of our proposal was a genuine surprise. It started out as a normal outing to the Atlanta Botanical Garden with Kiara (Lijah’s little sister). We walked through each exhibit without Gabrielle knowing that there was a surprise waiting for her. Lijah found the perfect spot to propose next a fountain with downtown in the background and decided it was time to pop the question. Kiara recorded the perfect video of Gabrielle’s reaction that we will be able to look back on for the rest of our lives.
