(Bride's Point of View) So it all started a few years back. I would sit next to my little sister Jasmyne as she was on the phone with her best friend DJ. Jazzy would always say that Dj had a very nice friend that I should get to know because he was "my type" and she knew that I would like him. My sister informed me that his name was Biggs and that he had a great personality. I would always tell my little sister that I was not interested in any of her friends because we had different lifestyles and they were younger than myself. The day came when I saw Biggs on video chat and we instantly became friends. Biggs and I would speak often and he always respected that I was in a relationship, but he never failed to remind me that one day I would be his wife. There was not one thing that I could not tell Biggs about. He has always been loving and supportive from the first day we ever spoke. The day came when I met Biggs face to face and we instantly had a connection. A year passed and the opportunity finally presented itself for us to be together. Biggs kept his promise and surprised me, with the blessing of my closest family, on June 23, 2021 on one knee with the most beautiful ring that I could ever imagine! I said Yassssssssssss!

(Groom's Point of View) I use to sit back with Jazz and Dj on the phone and I always wondered who the hell was in the background talking junk. I asked Jazz who it was and she said it was her sister. During that time, Trell was in a relationship, but we became friends on Facebook. We would chat from time to time about things going on in life and before we knew it, hours would pass by. We talked about any and everything not knowing that we were getting closer and closer as each hour passed. One day we had the opportunity to meet face to face. Trell was in the front and the kids were in the back. Lauren and Pudge were giving me the death stare the whole entire time. I could not stop smiling, because I was happy to meet her face to face. I was learning to love my future wife from afar. I realized that I loved Trell when I could tell her everything and she never judged me and I could not resist being around her. We were finally able to be together and I knew this was the time to make her my wife. I asked her sons if it would be ok to marry their mother and they said yes, but wait until after her birthday... I couldn't wait any longer.... I spoke with Jazz and decided that now was the time and she helped me to keep it a secret to surprise her sister. With assistance from Jazz and their mother Ms. Maggie, I was able to choose a ring and I finally asked. She said "Yasssssssssss!!"
