Tell us about the proposal.
Well, we already knew we were getting married so building up to an elaborate occasion seemed too obvious. One night while cooking dinner and watching the presidential nomination convention, Brad left the room for a minute and reappeared with a grin on his face. He bent down on one knee and asked me if he would marry him. I was so surprised I asked him if he was serious and almost forgot to say “Yes.”

How did you two meet?
Well, we both went to an “underwear” party at a sorority/frat house at Drake University and met through a mutual friend our sophomore year. Ironically it was in March and WAY too cold to wear anything less than a very heavy winter coat. So we both wore many layers and had an interesting conversation surrounded by intoxicated college kids. 4 years later after we each had our hearts broken and had built a very strong friendship we finally began our romantic relationship.

How did you two meet?
Brad and I met in high school, I was a junior and he was a senior. I was a cheerleader with Brad’s sister Samantha (my MOH). I would see Brad when I was hanging out with Samantha and knew I wanted to get to know him better. We ended up having a health class together and sat in the back and talked the whole semester. He even asked me out on our first date in class one day.

How did you two meet?
Keisha: Two different mutual friends had invited us to Downtown J Buck’s rooftop, to listen to a DJ one Friday night. I was talking to some friends coincidentally about dating, and relationships. When he walked up. He started to participate in the conversation. My other two friends, are married already, but one of them decided to ask him, if he was married. He said no. She asked “Are you looking?”. I was mortified! But I made light of the situation. And started talking to him one on one, I formally introduce myself. I told him I thought I knew him from somewhere. I think he may have thought I was flirting, but I was sincere. So I asked his name. He said Jason. I said what’s your last name? He said Roberts. I said Hmmmmmm, are you in any way related to Andre & Jared Roberts. He says yes, they are my cousins. Instantly I realized who he was, I said OMG, your Brandon & Chris’ little brother!!! At that point he had a either disappointed or perplexed look on his face. But he cleverly responded, yes I am, but I’m the better looking of the three.
Jason: That’s the official meeting, but I had seen her around for years, but I just assumed she was already married.

How did you two meet?
First of all, I am very bad with names/remembering people, so we actually met 3 times, and I did not realize he was the same person until the third. 1. We were in the same history class together, and he was the well-spoken, fun, popular guy in class. 2. He lived a floor above me in our college dorm where I was a resident assistant and had to pass my room (which always had the door open) in order to do laundry. 3. And finally after having an argument in class, simply for the sake of making class more entertaining, he stopped me outside the library to make sure I wasn’t offended (I wasn’t of course!), and that is when I put two and two together and realized these guys I had been seeing a lot were really only one!
