Tell us how you met and all about the proposal. Well, we met as classmates at the University of The Bahamas. At that time we really did not take notice of one another. We just hailed in passing or briefly spoke in class that was about it. I always knew Duran as the quiet slim guy in class. I don’t know what his perceptions were about me at the time. We lost contact with one another for several years but one day he sent me a friends request on Facebook.
Shortly after he sent me a message reminding me of who he was and asked if we could hang out one day. At first I didn’t really pay it any attention. But one day I needed a ride to my rehearsal for Miss Bahamas and I couldn’t think of anyone but then i remembered him! So I sent him a message asking if he would please do me the favor of dropping me to my rehearsal. He was there with no complaints. After that we became good friends for maybe over a year. Later he expressed to me that he was interested in a relationship with me, at first I was apprehensive but after months of thinking I finally decided to give it a shot.
Describe your engagement session. The shoot was amazing and so much fun. We did not have a theme but we wanted a classic look and a casual beach look. We truly enjoyed the engagement session
What did you do on your first date? Wow, the way the events happened I can’t really say we had an official first date, but I guess the first thing after that made it official – we went to the movies.
What’s your favorite thing to do as a couple? We’re both laid back kind of people, so watch tv!
How has wedding planning been so far? It’s been slow but steady. I’m trying not to overthink everything, just relax but it can be a lot to do.
Tell us what you’re looking forward to most on the wedding day. I think finally being able to relax because its going to be lots of hard work.
