How we Met:
12/15/2006
I always believed that what God has for us is for us, and past relationships whether good or bad, prepare us for the one that we will spend the rest of our lives with. After two unsuccessful attempts of matrimony, I almost gave up on true love. Then a friend recommended a dating website to me called Blacksingles.com. Much to my delight, a coworker had recommended the same site to Selisa. I was at the end of my subscription with all hope lost when I got a "smile" from the prettiest girl on the website. We exchanged emails in the system and finally went on our first date at Jerry's Seafood. Many dates followed and I realized that God had blessed me with the woman who touched my mind and soul. Luckily for me, she felt the same way.

How we got Engaged:
12/13/2008
Two years after our first date, we went back to one of our favorite restaurants for dinner, Jerry’s Seafood. After the waitress took our drink and appetizer order I looked into her eyes and said, "Two years ago we had our first date right here. When I first saw you I thought you were beautiful, then after talking to you I found out you were also smart and funny, so I said to myself, don't do anything to mess this up so you can get a second date. After a few months of dating, we began courting and I said to myself, don't do anything to dishonor her or to dishonor our relationship. But tonight it is not about what I don't want to do, it is about what I do want to do, which is to love you, honor you, and spend the rest of my life making you happy." (Pulled out the ring) Selisa, will you marry me?" And she said YES!!!!!!
