How We Met
We met during the National Beta Club Convention in Nashville, TN during the summer of 2015. CJ held the title of Virginia Vice President and Kiara held the title of Illinois Secretary. During the National convention, we met and formed a wonderful friendship, along with the rest of our Beta Club family.
Love Knows No Distance
CJ and Kiara dated long-distance for almost three years while CJ attended North Carolina A&T and Kiara attended Howard University. Kiara would take the train down to see CJ during various holiday weekends and special occasions.
The Proposal
CJ proposed during a weekend soon after we moved into our first place together. Kiara thought both families were coming into town to help with the move, but there was so much more in store. Check out the proposal vlog here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TSIJ8QN4K_c&t=663s
