We became friends on social media somehow, but never said anything to one another. On May 11, 2017, Tim direct messaged me, but at the time, I wasn't interested. He was very persistent, and we spoke randomly, but it was never anything serious. January 10, 2018, we exchanged numbers and we would text each other, but again, it was nothing serious. We met for the first time ever in March as we were living in two different cities at the time, and had our first date the very next day. That night as the date ended, it was pretty obvious that we both saw way more in each other than we could've ever imagined.

Tim had been acting weird, but we had so much going on, I figured he was just stressed. As the day got closer, I noticed routine things were not happening. My mom and friends were being weird, and he was DEFINITELY being weird. I started thinking he may have been planning something nice, but didn't want to be embarrassed, so I played it cool. (not really) He told me that we were going to his mother's surprise birthday dinner, but I would have to come separately because he had some things to do. What? We always ride together so this was definitely weird. My mom, Maleah and I rode to the restaurant and I began seeing familiar cars, and then I saw my cousin as I was walking in. Why is he here at Tim's mothers surprise party? I instantly started laughing and saying "I knew it!" My mom told me to go into the room as it was blocked off solely for us, and when I walked in, I saw him standing there with roses and candles everywhere and all the people I love. He began talking, but it was all a blur. I just remember crying, shaking my head "yes", and hearing my cousin say, "was that a yes? I can't hear you!" HECK YESSSS!!!! WE'RE GETTING MARRIED!!!! We're so excited to share this special moment with you all! See you in High Point!
