we decided on forever

Sometimes a love story doesn’t start as classical as a meeting in the park, and neither does this one. This love story started on the Delaware State University campus with a Twitter direct message saying 2 words that will stand the test of time… “Hey DSU18”. From then on, a conversation grew, and a friendship awakened. Over the four years of living on campus, we were able to hang out and get to know each other more and more. Eventually, the groom gained the courage to take this mere friendship to the next level. He asked, “Will you be my girlfriend?”. He knew with this relationship nothing, but positivity and love would come from it. After 3 years of dating, the groom was faced with another question to ask his then-girlfriend which brought you all to this website today… “Will you marry me?”.

August 1st, 2020 was National Girlfriend's Day. John asked Jeniece to visit him in Maryland to spend that weekend together. Jeniece thought that it would be a nice weekend of girlfriend appreciation, but she was in for a surprise. That morning, John treated Jeniece to a mani/pedi and then took her for walk through the beautiful Meridian Hill Park in Washington, DC. There, he proposed and had two friends waiting to capture the moment and take beautiful pictures. She cried, he smiled, and they were engaged. They enjoyed a wonderful dinner at Fogo de Chao later that evening.
