Our story. Thats a broad title. Jamaal and I met in 2013. We met on a dating site, actually. We had many commonalities and a special love for music. Jamaal and I grew into many things over the years. Our best memories came from establishing a genuine friendship. We are blessed to have found one another. We have learned from one another, which has allowed us to grow in the most magnificent ways. The decision to truly believe in love, was absolutely worth it.
Haaaa! This is our favorite part to share. Jamaal proposed on the most memorable Christmas Eve (2017). Apparently, Jamaal had this elaborate plan to ask for my hand in marriage with my family. Instead..Okay, so it is Christmas Eve, right? This means last minute everything! This was also the year we spent Christmas Eve celebrating at a hotel with family. That being said, we are trying to make a mad dash. Jamaal sends the kids away with his Mom, which means we are all alone. I am now jumping out of my clothes to get in the shower. I am in mid-stride when Jamaal calls my name..I am in a hurry so I quickly turn around and yell “WHAT!” I look down and there he was on one knee, while LOVE. by Kendrick Lamar played in the background. Those deep brown eyes asked me to marry him, and after making sure it was happening..I said YES!
