Ismael was stationed in the Army in Southern California and Precious was working as a chiropratic assistant in Northern California while attending school and they decided to download the POF dating app. Precious saw Ismael profile pop up and noticed that she was too far to date him in June of 2016. However, this did not stop her she saw that one of his pictures was his snapchat username and messaged him. From there the two were insperable and talked everyday and night. They pratically lived on the phone. They finally met offically in person 9 months later when Precious took her first flight to New jersey. The two had a long distance lover story but finally got engaged in December of 2023 when Ismael popped the question.
