At Last wedding Bells

14 years ago, I met Robert Bell III. I was a single mother of two young boys, Keylan and Prince. Robert was new to Sacramento, attending Sacramento State University. We met at work and immediately were in awe of each other. Robert immediately shared his love for his home (THE BAY AREA), family, music and arts with me. He also took on the role as Father to my boys. We quickly learned the love of the Bell family. They welcomed us with loving arms. As years passed, we welcomed two more boys, Robert IV and Michael. We strengthened our family with education, love, life lessons and values. Here we are a decade later and still creating a life of love. This year in 2021, we are pleased to announce our 5th boy. Rajadeur Bell . He made it right before our wedding. We know it has taken a while to finally share this moment with you all, but God's timing is always on time! We have never been more ready than we are now! At last, we will be The Bells. We can't wait to share this moment with all our friends and family. We know you all have been waiting as well.

In April 2020, Robert had a beautiful trip to Hawaii planned for us. Unfortunately, due to Covid we had to cancel. We were distraught, Robert so much more than I was and I couldn't understand why. Fast forward to my birthday on June 17, 2020. We were in full lockdown at this point. Robert planned a wonderful dinner for me at home. He and my son Baby Rob cooked a lavish meal for me. I got all dressed up and Rob and my boys called me out to come eat. It was the most intimate birthday we've ever had. Robert kept sweating and was acting nervous and the AC was on. I was so oblivious. So, after dinner, the kids pulled out all my gifts. We opened them all and at the end, he gave me a card. There was a sticky note on the left side covering up a message. I started reading it... it said, "will you marry me?" I turned around and he was sitting next to me with this beautiful ring. I started crying so hard. I imagined this day and what I would say. I thought I would have something slick to say, like FINALLY or DUH!!! But I just cried my eyes out with joy. He was like, "Are you gonna leave me hanging? Is that a yes?" Of course, I said yes! My son recorded it all on my phone and kept telling his dad, "I told you she was gonna cry". On the covered-up part of the card, it said that he was going to propose in Hawaii on his birthday! That was why he was so adamant on going despite all the Covid restrictions lol. I was so happy and overwhelmed with joy!
