We went to the same college. Knew the same people. But NEVER met while we attended DSU. We somehow started interacting on Instagram. (Neither one of us remembers who followed the other first.) We finally went on a date and have been together ever since. We talked about marriage on our first date. We decided to date with intention.

Jalaal wanted to do a photoshoot for our three-year anniversary. We shot the first look. After changing for the second look the photographer positioned me to have my back facing Jalaal. I still wasn't suspicious until the photographer started taking a little too long to snap a picture. I turned around to Jalaal on one knee and our close friends and parents surrounding us. I said "YES!". We are excited to have our family and friends witness our union and celebrate with us. See you on 11/11/22!
