Believe it or not, Snapchat—a popular photo and video-sharing social media platform—was our matchmaker. Now close your eyes. Imagine Naima in a blue dress dancing to the rhythm of a Caribbean classic at a distillery (where no one else is dancing). Now open your eyes and picture Gary staring at Naima on their mutual friend's Snapchat video story, mesmerized by his future bride in that unforgettable blue dress. Gary could not let the opportunity pass him, so he instantly messaged his friend and proclaimed, "I need her in my life!" Much time has gone by from that captivating moment, but here they are now, inviting you to dance and celebrate their marriage.
Naima may seem quiet to some, but one thing is for sure, she knows what she wants. So one day, Gary randomly asked Naima, “If we got engaged, how would you like that day to look?” Naima said it must be on a beach and would like the moment to just be the two of them. Gary then developed a bright idea to get engaged in Costa Rica, but he had to surprise Naima. Thus, with the help of close family and friends, Gary convinced Naima that he wanted to celebrate his final spring break in law school in Costa Rica. Naima was so excited to go to Costa Rica to celebrate Gary's last spring break—she never saw the surprise of her life coming! After a story for another time, following a romantic dinner, Naima walked into the room, and Gary asked, "Naima, will you marry me?" Well, does Gary have to explain what she said?
