Ray & Ja’Kel met in the evening of September 7, 2018 after a long day of work. Ja’Kel was his Lyft driver simply having a general conversation that she had no idea would turn into something more. They exchanged numbers that day and the conversations never ended. Their 1st date was at the Memorial Park in Jacksonville, Fl. It was at that point that Ray realized that it was something special about Ja’Kel…a feeling that he never experienced before. Time progressed and they decided to make their relationship official on January 18, 2019. The chemistry was getting stronger and they both begin to realize that they could not live without each other. They begin to express themselves about what they wanted in the future as well as their goals/plans. Ray finally unexpectedly proposed to Ja’Kel on October 31, 2020 with a fulfillment of a fairytale story that she wrote about 3 years ago in 2017 before she met him. Their wedding date will be June 4.2021…the same date that Ja’Kel’s Father and Mother were united together in Holy Matrimony 33 yrs. ago. They are looking forward to a life long commitment of love and unforgettable memories.
