On a quiet afternoon in 2013, while scrolling through the latest dating App “Plenty of Fish”, Edward came across this beautiful, radiant, brown skin woman whose contagious smile instantly took his breath away. Debating whether he should message her or not, he took a leap of faith and messaged her, and luckily within the next couple of hours she replied back. Over the next couple of months Edward and Jalisa continued to “DM” direct message each other, quickly forming a genuine friendship. Over the next five years the two stayed in contact with each other. March 2018 Edward once again slide in Jalisa’s DMs after seeing her latest post with a red one shoulder silhouette dress that complemented her oh so well. Edward decided to reach out to Jalisa and the two rekindled over lunch at Jason’s Deli. After dating for two months, the two decided to officially become a couple on May 11,2018. After three beautiful years of togetherness, Edward decided that Jalisa was the woman of his dreams and that he wanted to spend the rest of his life with her. Jalisa completed him in more ways than he could have ever imagined, and he knew that he had to put a ring on it. On May 23, 2021 Edward decided to celebrate his birthday by getting down on one knee and asking Jalisa for her hand in marriage in front of their family and friends; and of course she said "YES!!". On December 11,2021, Edward and Jalisa will celebrate their union by pronouncing their vows to God and each other, by showing the world the definition of true love. “Therefore, what God has joined together, let no one separate.” Mark 10:9
