After years of bad relationships, unkind people and never able to know the true meaning of LOVE, we were both introduced by our mutual friend Shadae. We will now refer to her as "Matchmaker" lol. I remember telling her that I am over relationships and I want to find someone who loves me for me. She gave me the name of her friend Orale who is like a big brother to her and told me to expect a call. He too was single for years (not sure how as he is just simply amazing) . We hit it off the moment we started conversing on the phone via voice call and WhatsApp on March 19, 2018. He was shy at first or so he says but we spoke everyday every chance we got until we met face to face April 2, 2018. The first moment I saw him I was so in love with how handsomely he was dressed and how comfortable he was in his skin. Making me see that he owned everything, his attitude, his persona, his space. Whoo! I was just in complete awe. Love at first sight is not something that we believed would happen to us but it did. WHEN YOU KNOW YOU JUST KNOW. ❤
My birthday is the 27th of August so my bae Nette wanted me to enjoy the final moments of still being on the calender. She along with our friends planned a dinner party with my closest friends and family members. Orale jumped the gun and popped the question in the bathroom of our hotel room in Negril before we went to the party. His excuse was "Baby I wanted a you and me moment" . He loves his privacy and craves our private moments together, I would've wanted it videoed as I cant remember what he said to me before he asked me to marry him, lol. He had already asked my mom about the idea of us getting married before he did the deed, so he scored a point in the Good Mom's Book 😁 . I was surprised that he proposed but at the same time overjoyed that in such a short space of time he sees the woman that I am.
Recently our best woman Shadae 😘 asked me what is my top 5 memories for 2018. At first or took a lot to try to sum up all the great memories I have for that year, after thinking long and hard (for an entire day 🙈) I came up with something that i know will be 5 of my greatest memories. I in turn asked Orale for his and i will post it as well. Lauren's top 5 memories of 2018 5.
