He asked & She said “YES”!

We met January 11th, 2014, at a party. I remember walking in and Ketah and I made eye contact. We kept staring at each other the entire time until my friend started to dance with him (after I had already called dibs). But after their dance ended, I didn't hesitate to get my turn. We danced to about 4 songs and eventually ended up meeting at a Filiberto's after the party ended. We exchanged numbers and talked everyday after that. We had our first date at a Wendy's once I got out of school. That date led to more dates and on February 14th, 2014, we went to the movies to see "About Last Night". We went to iHop afterwards and ended up at my mom's house. We sat in the car for a while and Ketah asked me if he could be my boyfriend. And 5 years later, we are now engaged.

The surprise had been planned for a while now. Ketah had to put everything together without letting Swayla know anything. That morning it was her birthday, so they went to Sunday School and came back home to get their day started. Eventually they made their way over to Swayla's mom's house and chilled over there for a little bit. Swayla was beginning to think her birthday was going to end there. Ketah eventually asked her to go outside so he could take some birthday pics of her. After that, Ketah asked Swayla if she wanted to go get some sushi for dinner with just the baby, and Keylah would stay with Swayla's mom. They make their way to Teharu Sushi and saw close family members waiting there. Swayla was only focused on eating her sushi until she seen her mom, siblings and daughter walk in after they said they weren't coming. She didn't know what was going on so she continued eating. After getting settled in, everyone took out their cameras and began recording. Ketah was so nervous but he got up and walked around the table to where she was. Swayla had just put a Shaggy Dog (type of sushi) in her mouth when he came up to her and said "Baby, I love you. Will you marry me?". She couldn't believe he was really asking her and everyone was just waiting for to say "Yes". And of course, she did. Now they are planning their wedding and preparing to say "I do, forever".
