We were both new to the online dating scene but luckily we gave it a try in 2022. He approached me first with a message asking was I Jamaican. I brushed him off for a few days. I later messaged him back asking why did he think I was Jamaican. He said due to the decorated walls in my home office. We laughed it off and chatted more.

Weeks went by and we continued to chat and decided to exchange numbers. We never missed a day for weeks without talking to one another.

We both realized that we had so much in common, from the food we like, the drinks we enjoy, music we like; we both having one child and are grandparents.

After also digging into one anothers past, we learned that as fate would have it, we lived four homes down from one another but unfortunately, never ran into each other.

A few more weeks had passed and I expressed to Raymond that my birthday was approaching and he responded asking what did I want. I told him that my dream was to own a Cane Corso. This is when Raymond was like are you serious cause I can make that happen. I did not believe him at first but MY MAN MY MAN MY MAN!

He called me up and was like whats your address. I gave him the address and he came with my birthday gift. Our baby today (Thor), our Cane Corso. It was my first time actually seeing Raymond in person and I was thrown off admiring him because I was so in shock that he bought my dream dog.

It was LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT for both of us.....

We dated for a year and both knew what we wanted. At my 45th birthday party in July 2023 Raymond looked me in my eyes and said, You are going to be my Wife.

On December 30th he set up a very romantic proposal party with our close family and friends and asked me to be Mrs. Whipple......of course I said YES and here we are......
