OUR STORY

Us that first weekend together in October 2010. We had just left Charnae's 20th birthday celebration.

With my braces and all, we were in love.

In her most candid moment, Charnae reacts to the question she imagined hearing her entire life.

       I proposed to her on February 22, 2015. She froze up for a second but eventually gave me the most unforgettable "yes" I'll ever receive. Our bond has truly stood the test of time and distance, and it will never be broken.

​as told by the groom

​

       Charnae and I met on MySpace in 2008. We were just two young adults on two opposite sides of

the country (Louisiana and California), but we both felt a special connection from our very first

conversation. We kept in contact with each other and always enjoyed when the other person's name

would pop up on the phone or computer. We always knew there was something there, but the 1,800

                                                miles in between us kept us from acting on those feelings.

                                                That all changed in August of 2010 when I sparked up conversation via

                                                text just to see how she was doing. We had no clue what that simple text

                                                conversation would eventually become. We began talking on the phone

                                                for hours every night from that point and couldn't get enough of each

                                                other. Within two weeks, we decided to try out a long distance

                                                relationship, despite not even meeting in person yet!

       We just had to see each other so I hopped on a plane to spend her birthday weekend with her, and five years later, we can say we've

truly been inseparable. Our long distance love lasted for more than three years until she made the big move across the country to be

closer to me. We went from only seeing each other two or three times a year to now seeing each other daily.
