Karras and I initially met at an event I was corresponding for KRAVE Magazine in December of 2016. Karras was the Brand Ambassador for KRAVE. I remember seeing him for the first time and thinking this man is intriguing. Not only did I find him physically attractive, but he also seemed to move through the crowd unbothered. Not caring to be noticed, but noticeable. So it is fair to say, I noticed him first. Being the professional I am, I finished my job and headed home. Although, I knew there was something about him. A connection. As time passed, I noticed Karras liking my photos on instagram. (Yes, social media played a part on our fate. LOL) We started following each other and one day Karras let me know he would be attending one of the events I was hosting in Atlanta. He came to the event and asked that night to take me out. The next day, March 10, 2017 we went to lunch. That evening me and my bestie (Lauren - Maid of Honor) went out for drinks and of course I couldn't stop talking about him. Lauren wanted to meet him. I called Karras to see if he would come meet us that evening. I wasn't expecting him to come out, but he did. I knew from that moment that I wanted forever with him. We've been together every since.
We initially laid eye on each other at a Christmas Party I was attending as KRAVE Magazines Ambassador. It was a brief hi and bye. We started following each other on instagram and liking each others pictures. I went live on Instagram for a radio interview when Maria came on and we started speaking. I told her that I would come out to her event that she was hosting. When I got to the event, it was the first time I really noticed her. I DM'd her while she was hosting and told her she was FIRE and I had to take her out. She laughed it off and introduced me to perform. And when I walked up to the stage I stopped and smiled and said "Hi Maria." She smiled back. I was amazed at not just her beauty but how she carried herself. We went to lunch the next day and when I pulled up, I was amazed by her beauty. We ate, talked, and laughed. We have been together since then. By the way, Maria told me on our first date I was going to be her husband. I just smiled, but I actually knew at that moment that she was going to be my wife.
