THE PROPOSAL

“We began remodeling our first home together in March of 2024,” Abigail said. “We moved in on the same day as our housewarming party, July 27th. Surrounded by our family and friends, we began opening gifts. As we reached the very last gift, I had no idea it would be the most meaningful one of all. Instead of something for the house, it was a moment meant for us. Cedric got down on one knee and asked me to spend forever with him—turning a housewarming into the start of our forever. Not only was it our first night is our new home, it was also our first night being engaged.”


THE DETAILS

First dance: “Biblical” by Calum Scott

Signature cocktails: whiskey and coke; pink starburst

“It truly was the most perfect day,” Abigail said.

“One of my favorite moments of the entire day was my first dance with my husband,” Abigail said. “In that moment, even though the room was full, with all eyes on us, all I could feel was peace and a warm sensation; it felt like it was only me and him in the room. Our first true moment together as husband and wife, and I was flooded with all the memories we’d created together and everything that led up to this special day.”

“Looking at my wife and knowing that, out of all the paths life could’ve taken, we chose each other,” Cedric said. “In that moment, nothing else mattered but love, commitment, and the future we were beginning together. When I looked into her beautiful eyes, I got a crazy feeling, like it was the first day we ever locked eyes. As I was standing there with her, I felt safe, I felt chosen, and I felt complete.”

“The love I felt that day is something I’ll carry with me for the rest of my life,” Cedric said.

Honeymoon: Hot Springs, Arkansas (“We plan on taking our official honeymoon in the summer, possibly to Cancun, Punta Canta, or Thailand”, Abigail said.).
