I've been with my fiance, Ricky for many years. We met at Waffle House while I was having breakfast. He was separated at the time. I was getting out of a relationship and I was attending VCU to get my BS in Nursing. He was pleasant to talk to and even a good listener. We started to talk more and more until he eventually asked me out on a date. From that moment on we have been inseparable. Now after many years, he asked me to marry him. This will be my first wedding and I'm looking forward to it. Our big day will be October 23, 2027 in Alexandria, Virginia.
