So the first time I met Teisha was back in 2013 at the Houston Youth Convention. My friend Aby and I decided to meet up with our friend Remy who was Teisha’s college roommate at the time. Remy introduced me to Teisha and I remember thinking “Wow this girl is so pretty!” But, as the weekend went on, I started to realize how much of a chill person she was and I wanted to get to know her a little more. So, I decided to add her on Facebook and slide into her DM’s. A few days later with no reply, I came to the unfortunate conclusion that she wasn’t having it. 🥺Fast forward a year later, it came time for the Chicago Family Convention. I was really worried about taking days off from my internship, but then I kept thinking to myself that if I don’t go, then I might just miss my chance at shooting my shot one more time with Teisha. I decided to book my ticket last minute but I told myself I would make it worth it. I remember walking to the registration desk and seeing Teisha there too! I decided to approach her and start up some small talk just to see where her mind was at. Finally, when she was getting ready to head out, I remember thinking to myself, “In the land of Jordan you better take that shot now”, so I asked her for her number and she ended up saving her number as Teisha :) (with a smiley face) and I thought to myself “W!!!!” We hung out with each other the rest of convention and ended up texting frequently afterwards. She told me she was coming down to Houston for her cousin’s wedding in October. We hung out the following day after the wedding where I asked her out and since then, we’ve been on this crazy journey together. Teisha and I have stuck by each other through all of our ups and downs. We’ve always had each other’s backs and always pushed ourselves to be the best version of ourselves. Now, six and a half years later, we are getting ready to embark on our next adventure in life. I love you so much and can’t wait to spend the rest of my life with you, T!

Steve and I usually saw each other at least once a month while we were dating so we planned for another weekend to see each other in Houston. Once I landed, Steve took me out to dinner, like we always go to. At dinner, Steve got a call from “his boss” saying that he would have to go into work the following day. I was bummed because we already had plans for the entire weekend. However, he couldn’t say no. Little did I know that it was his cousins who called him to set the scene. The following morning, I got a knock on my hotel room door at 7:30AM saying “Housekeeping!” However, I recognized the voice. It was Steve’s first cousin, Leona! She gave me a lunch box and said “Steve felt bad so he gave me breakfast for you.” I proceeded to open the lunch box and inside was a note. After reading the note, I knew what was about to happen!! To top it off, Steve hired people to come do my hair and makeup. After I got ready, I spent the day with his cousins, Leona and Staffy, going around to different spots in Houston that are meaningful to us. The first spot was where we had our first date and to my surprise, all of our best friends were there to greet me. The second spot was one of our favorite restaurants, America’s (RIP) where my immediate family waited for me and we had a quick meal. I was greeted at the third spot with Steve’s family at another restaurant where we had lots of memories at. The fourth and final spot was at Herman park where all of our friends and family met us and he proposed to me at the top of the hill. It was truly an unforgettable moment! The day was filled with so much love and the amount of time and detail that went into planning it, meant so much to me! I am so excited and ready to continue our relationship as husband and wife! :) Shoutout to Leona for putting this video together to remember this amazing day! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hso0KtSuHSY
