We met in October at a baby shower I was a guest of. Alphanso was working. He had come with his crew to pick up the tables and chairs the new parents rented from Abbots, where Alphanso works, In true west Indian style, the baby shower was not completely over at midnight when they said it would be. The new mom asked for the Abbots crew to have a seat and give her a few more minutes to gather the guests and escort them out of the venue. I was standing over by the bar because where else would i be. The abbots crew, including Alphanso, were standing nearby waiting for the party to end. The rest is all a blur to me because again, I was at the bar. LOL The rest of this story was told to me by Alphanso. He had taken notice of me dancing at the party. His coworker approached me and informed me that Alphanso "liked what he saw". I explained to him that the young man could tell me himself because we are adults. Alphanso bee-lined it over to me and without words, i gave him my name and number. We apparently danced to an Ed Sheeran song and then promised to text each other later. He did text AND call but his efforts were futile until about 6 months later when he tried again. We went on our first date on May 18th. We talked and hung out. It was nice. We went on a different date everyday that week, getting to know each other. Things moved quickly for Alphanso and I. On my birthday, September 25th, I planned a murder mystery dinner for some of my close friends. Alphanso surprised us all my popping the question and well, you're here because i said YES! Now, after him trying so hard just to go out on a date with me, here we are planning our lives together
