Truth be told, Jaleek actually tried to slide in Addie's DM's years ago in high school but the rejection was real. Fast forward several years to our time at ECU and Addie was roommates with one of Jaleek's coworkers (Marianna). Marianna hosted a dinner at their apartment one evening in Greenville and at that moment, Jaleek knew his chance to secure a future with Addie has once again risen. Jaleek was unresistable to Addie this time and now the rest is history!
A rainy sunday afternoon by the water turned into much more than Addie was ever expecting! We took a stroll down the waterfront in Little Washington to watch the rain drops hit the calm water. As Addie watched the water from the railing, she turned around and boom.. Jaleek was right behind her on a knee ready to pop the question. Addie was in shock and couldn't resist shouting YES!
