WHERE DID THEY MEET?

...at Faith Chapel. JaKenda spoke to Robert and he was captivated by her smile. After a few months of running into each other (Robert stalking JaKenda), Robert worked up the courage to ask for her phone number at the end of July 2017. After two failed attempts at a first date, JaKenda finally agreed to meet Robert for lunch. After multiple dates, even a trip to six flags, they were well on their way to becoming best friends. On October 8, 2017, the two best friends established a purpose for their relationship and made it official.

VALENTINE'S DAY 2019...

...Robert popped the question! He proposed with a rose gold, double halo, split shank engagement ring (just as JaKenda had on her vision board). They became engaged at Fleming's Steakhouse in Birmingham, AL.
