How did you know he/she was the one?
Theron: We’d known each other and been friends since 2002. We started dating in 2014 and during the passing of my father, her love and friendship shined though, the way she cared for me, my family and friends confirmed it.
Juanita: Our first date, ten plus years after being friends, was Arts Beats and Eats. We hung out all day, engaged, laughing, talking, no checking of social media/texts. It was a confirmation we could be around each other, and it felt right. He makes laugh!
How you you define love as a couple?
It’s hard to sum it up, so we define it as SlapTastic!
Which was also our wedding hashtag, what we share is so unique, so we made up a word.
Briefly, describe your proposal.
We were supposed to be celebrating a friend’s one-year anniversary of moving to Detroit. After five minutes of small talk, Theron asks — the friend we were celebrating — “How has your year in Detroit been?” She said, “I made a book about it.” She handed it to me, and it was a book made by Theron! It chronicled our entire relationship, going all the way back to our first date, and it ended with a picture of my ring. I couldn’t even flip to the next page — I looked up in disbelief, and he was on one knee. The restaurant erupted as I said yes.

Engaged
How did you know he/she was the one?
We met almost ten years ago when we were students at Cass Tech, but I didn’t know he was the one until we both had to deal with very close personal deaths. I knew Gordon was the one when he stepped up and became my rock during that incredibly difficult time. He let me ugly cry on his shoulder and held my hand the whole time; a few months later he let me do the same for him.
How you you define love as a couple?
Honesty and forgiveness. Knowing that the person closest to you wouldn’t do anything to hurt you intentionally.
Briefly, describe your proposal.
Gordon proposed on Christmas night. We were at his aunt’s house for dinner, and his family kept asking what big news he had as soon as we walked in. They almost gave it away because I didn’t know about any big news. After several questions from aunts and uncles, he was sort of forced to pop the question as not to give anything up. He got down on one knee and asked me to marry him
