Rasheed and Nailah met at a local bar in Clinton Maryland. She was there with family, and he was with friends. Nailah’s cousin saw a guy talking to her and noticed she wasn’t interested. Simply put, she was looking at his friend. Nailah pointed him out to and unbeknownst to her, the cousin walked across the room to let him know Nailah was interested. He walked over and introduced himself and they had a bit of small talk. When the night was over, Rasheed walked Nailah to the car, opened the door, and gave me a hug. She was floored, it wasn’t something nobody had ever done. And according to her, it was definitely a welcome change. They parted ways for the evening letting each other know that they’d be in touch. That night Rasheed had been in an accident and Nailah’s sister called her to inform her of what happened. She got of the phone and gave him a call to make sure he was okay. The rest is really history.
It had been 3 years since the couple had started dating. According to Rasheed, he’d known from the very moment he laid eyes on Nailah - that she was the one! He enlisted the help of her sister to bring his plan to life. The night was 01/05/2018, Nailah’s birthday. He told her that he had to work the night shift, but that he was off the rest of the weekend to celebrate. Nailah’s sister had already made plans with her for a night out. Her sister picked her up at about 9pm and headed in the direction of a local bar. Nailah had her favorite, a patron margarita. One the drinks were finished, the ladies headed towards the bathroom for makeup touchups. When they walked out, her sister walked her towards the direction of the dance floor. There, Nailah noticed all of her loved ones and friends standing in the middle of the floor. She greeted everyone quite confused, she asked “where is my man?” And looked to the left as he was heading right for her. She hugged him tight and exchanged a few words with him before he got down on one knee and asked her to marry him. And of course, she said yes! We can’t wait to share this next part of our lives with you!
