We met at my soror's kickback. He approached my line sister in pursuit of me. We connected at the party; and by the end of the night we had exchanged phone numbers and Donntay requested me on Facebook. I decided to take initiative and called Donntay first. We hit it off instantly and haven't stopped talking since. Four months later on April 17, 2016 Donntay officially asked me to be his girlfriend. I said yes and it’s been an amazing journey since.

Donntay's Point of View: Since Ruth has a effervescent personality, I knew the perfect opportunity to pop the question would be on the weekend of her celebrating her big 30th birthday. Ruth had a multitude of family and friends come to Miami for her Bad Boy Records themed party followed by a brunch. Little did she know, I decided to change the location of her brunch to a location that was aesthetically more pleasing than the night before. Ruth was taken aback a bit when she found that the brunch location changed, but fortunately, she decided to go with the flow of things. It was all worth it because on that beautiful Sunday afternoon of June 23, 2019, I got on one knee and asked Ruth for her hand in marriage. In the company of our family and friends, Ruth said yes with great joy. Ruth's point of view:The weekend that Donntay proposed was also the same weekend that I had activities planned for my 30th birthday. The night before he proposed on June 22nd, 2019 threw a 30th Bad Boy Record themed birthday party. I planned to have brunch at a restaurant in Brickell and went around the room to ask my friends if they were still planning to come the next day. They told me that they were planning on coming and confirmed a different restaurant with me. I was a bit confused and then was told that Donntay changed the venue. I was taken aback because Donntay rarely does that! The next day June 23rd, 2019 , some of my girlfriends ended up going to the restaurant ahead of us to hold our seats. When we finally got to the restaurant, my line sister pulled me aside to the restroom to distract me as Donntay got ready for the proposal. Once I got back from the restroom, Donntay led me to the restaurant deck and then proposed to me. I happily said yes!
