Believe it or not, we met during a blind date. Joi's cousin, Jerrod Johnson, is also Je'Mere's fraternity brother. (Small world, huh!) They were originally supposed to meet during North Carolina A&T's Infamous #GHOE, but plans changed and they were not able to meet each other in person. Jerrod provided both of them with their Instagrams, and it went down in the DMs. On October 26th, 2017 (a day before Je'Mere's birthday), Je'Mere drove down to see Joi in Raleigh, NC for their first official "blind date", The rest is history!

A day before Joi moved out of her home, Je'Mere wanted to have one last dinner in North Carolina. As they were preparing for their dinner, Je'Mere kept asking Joi if she was "forgetting anything", like earrings, a purse, etc. Joi responded with, "No, I think I got everything!". In return, Je'Mere said, "I think you are forgetting one thing". He got down on one knee and proposed to Joi. Right where they started on their first blind date. It was extremely intimate due to COVID-19, and absolutely perfect.
