Emily & Devante met on the dating app Hinge, I know crazy right?! It all began when Devante sent Emily a rose on the app and she accepted. Not knowing that her favorite movie was Beauty and The Beast, which also was Devante's grandmother's (Angelina's) favorite movie. Once he found that out he truly felt this was a sign that he had found someone special. Emily wasn't sure anything would come of this since she had no luck before. Happily, she was wrong. They began talking and soon came to find that they both had lived in Fredericksburg. Neither one thinking their future spouse would be from there. Conversation between the two was easy and fun! Both feeling a level of comfort with each other that they had not felt before. When they first met in person Devante drove the hour to Richmond to met Emily. (Bonus points for him) It may sound cheesy but once they met, they both felt an instant ease and knew this was something special. From there a beautiful relationship blossomed. Both becoming each other's best friend. September 7, 2023 was the day Devante had waited for, he was going to propose. He had decorated the rooftop with lights and rose petals. They began the walk up to the roof to have "dinner" Emily thought. Once she stepped onto the roof she knew something was up. Getting down on one knee and presenting Emily with her ring in a beautiful Rose shaped box she said "YES!" Little did they both know a MASSIVE storm was going to come in, soaking them and blowing all the decorations everywhere. Still finding rose petals around the neighborhood even now. It was a good laugh and made the day even more memorable. Emily & Devante are beyond thrilled to be able to share their special day with all of you. Here's to getting married and dancing the night away!
