We met in 2010 on the campus of Temple University in the student organization, Temple Gospel Ministries. It wasn't until 2012, when we began a friendship. Our friendship blossomed and in 2016 we began dating. After 6 years of friendship and 2 years of dating, Gerald proposed. Now begins our journey to #ShannonPartyof2.

On December 1st, Gerald and Kaila were in Washington D.C with a group of friends celebrating Gerald's 29th birthday. Throughout dinner, Gerald and Kaila reminisced about the beginning of their relationship and how they have grown together. After singing "Happy Birthday," Gerald got on one knee and asked Kaila to be his wife.
