Get in here!!! Get in here!!!

We met in Atlanta, Ga on a hot September day. It was one of the most random encounters. (O.K so there are two sides to this story.) Jamaal didn't want to talk to me but something nudged him in my direction to introduce himself. And I didn't want to talk to him at all. I gave him my number on the precept that I would block him once he texted me. As you can see neither of us expected where life would take us. He persistently asked to take me out to eat that night and I reluctantly obliged. That night after dinner Jamaal knew there was something special about me and I on the other hand felt a level of peace about this random man that I met by chance that I had never felt before about anyone. That night we both decided we had to find out what this was.

This was a total surprise. The previous summer we were watching tiger king on Netflix and I said I wanted to go to see the tigers. We were in Myrtle Beach for the weekend and he told me that we were going on a tiger safari and we were going to take pictures so I should look nice and do my make-up. We got to the safari and we took pictures with a chimpanzee and I didn't want to hold it. And then they brought a lemur out and I didn't want to hold it. Jamaal was getting annoyed but I didn't understand why. They finally brought a baby tiger out and I got so excited to hold the tiger and posed for pictures and looked over and saw a ring. It was the craziest exciting time ever. There were so many emotions, so much going on all at one time. After crying for what seemed like 30 minutes I finally said yes. After the proposal we took a helicopter around the whole beach and then went out to eat to celebrate.
