Bernard and I had crossed paths back in middle school, being that his mother was then my sixth-grade teacher. So, I guess you can say, since then I have always had a crush on him.

Let us fast forward to 2017, his brother, Ben, and I were "Snapchat friends". After watching his stories over and over, I finally built up enough courage to ask him if he would hook me up with his brother. In return he told me "I had to do it myself," what a disappointment. My heart was shattered. He then proceeds on to giving me Bernard's username, @lahhnard, so you know I added "my boo Bernard," but no I did not text him. I was too scared and crazy right, but you know his brother Ben had already broken my poor little heart.

But a few days went by, and I received a call from my friend, Romarieya, while she was at work. She proceeds to tell me how this boy at her job wanted to talk to me. Of course, I asked who he was and to let me see him. As the boy proceeded to the phone, you would not believe who it was. It was" my man y'all" (in my head at the time at least), lol! But yes, it was Bernard. Look at God!! He stepped in and intervein, saying, "You do not have to text him, I will send him to you." After some mild conversation we exchanged numbers, and we all know it was history after this.

May 29, 2017, was our very first date, Bernard asked me to be his girlfriend and even told me he loved me, my heart just melted into pieces. On June 10, 2023, my best friend, my man, my boo thang, surprising proposed to me and asked me to love him for the rest of my life gathered in love and supported by our close's family and friends.

Now we are here 7 years strong, our bond, our love, and trust in God has made our love for each other irreplaceable.

"Our love is forever"
