Proposal Location:  In the Baggage claim area at JFK airport in New York!
Proposal Date:  Thursday, December 22, 2016

How did you meet?

Kyle told me (when we started dating) that the 1st time he saw me he was in high school and I was either a Freshman or Sophomore at Long Island University, Brooklyn campus. I had no idea who he was until much later (years later), in passing here and there on our college campus. It was after a few Facebook messages that we would begin to be great friends. He had never been to Trinidad carnival and I had a few times so I took on the responsibility of planning his first carnival while he was deployed (Navy). It wasn’t until February 4th, 2016 we shared our first kiss in the middle of a Caribbean fete and the rest has been nothing but great vibes.

Tell us your proposal story:

We had decided last minute that I would send Christmas in New York and meet his parents. I deplaned and headed to baggage claim ASAP because I was so exhausted. I spotted him leaning against the wall close to baggage claim and headed his way and hugged him and started complaining about how tired I was…
Then he stopped me with this weird look on his face and starts asking me all these questions and after I responded, he went down on one knee and asked me to marry him. I started crying and then laughing because some Asian man stopped and screamed , “Congratulations!” We just sunk down to the airport floor and sat and hugged and cried and stared at the ring. Literally, best day of our lives.

Wedding plans:

We’re getting married on April 8th, 2018 in Nassau, Bahamas (Jacaranda House)

Love note from the bride:

Babe, 

I never thought love could feel like this. I almost didn’t make it to carnival that year (you know why) but I’m so happy I did. You’re so supportive, so loving, so wonderful and despite the distance and our work obligations, you make us work. I’m so grateful to God for answering my prayers for a friend, a lover and a partner like you. And I thank him for making you such a great dancer haha.
I cannot wait to be the future Mrs. #ChasetheWaist . Love you always.
