How we met

10.17.16

Where do we start! Robert and Makayla met at a hospital after Robert relocated for a new job and Makayla worked there to complete her nursing internship. They continued to bump into each other at work and ended up exchanging numbers with the help of a mutual friend! After a few weeks, the two went on their first date. During the date, Robert and Makayla talked and laughed like they had known each other for YEARS! Makayla was pretty nervous. No, she was REALLY nervous considering the fact that she had only taken ONE bite of her chicken tacos during the entire date! They laughed and talked in the restaurant for FOUR HOURS. It’s safe to say that Robert and Makayla really hit it off. Robert was very charming and a complete gentlemen and in the end they both knew that they would have something very special!

The Proposal

6.16.18

Robert and Makayla went out to have a nice evening with friends. They laughed and laughed as they watched numerous entertainers during a comedy show. After the comedy show, the group headed to what was perceived to be their “dinner reservations” at the Peabody hotel. Once at the Peabody hotel, Robert disappears, along with all of the other young men that were in attendance leaving Makayla confused and somewhat annoyed. The young ladies that were with her reassured her that everything would be fine and that the guys were going to find them a table. After waiting impatiently for about 30 minutes, the ladies announced that the “table” was now ready and led Makayla down a long hallway. After walking down what seemed like a forever ending hallway (because her feet were screaming at this point) Makayla turned the corner to see Robert on one knee and an enormous banner that read “Will You Marry Me Brownsugar?” Her heart melted and of course she said yes!
