I knew 2016 was going to be a game changer for me but
never to this degree. I am happy to say that as of midnight on New Years Eve
2015 Nina and I are engaged to be married. It was a beautiful, romantic
surprise and I was happy to say Yes! In all my past relationships, marriage was
a cute fantasy but something I knew deep down I could not follow through with
the women I was seeing. Something inside me always said wait for the end, wait
for the other shoe to fall. Not once have I ever had these thoughts or issues
with Nina, in fact I was always the voice of reason any time Nina wanted to
discuss future endeavors. I would tell her that we will discuss and plan those
things when we get to that bridge. Truth be told, when a woman is certain about
what she wants in her life she will make the moves required to make it happen.
Nina is use to taking charge in her business life, she gets the deals done and
in her personal life she does as well. A life with me was her goal and intention
and now we’re on the road to making that a reality.
The ring, I won’t post pictures here but will tell you
that it is a Classic 4 prong set round diamond solitaire with pave setting on
the band. It’s a total of 2 carats with the solitaire being 1 carat. The cut is
amazing and catches light like nothing I’ve ever seen before. Nina has great
connections for the best of anything. The plan is to have a destination wedding
but not one of the traditional variety. We’re both not into traditional
weddings hence us deciding that our special day should be about us having fun
and enjoying the start of our lives together. We have one place in mind and
have told some of our closes friends who are excited to join us.
Thus far 2016 has exceeded my expectations. I never
thought I would be telling the world I’m engaged and preparing for marriage.
2015 had opened my eyes to a lot of things in my life that needed to change,
who I bestow the title of friend upon was one of them. Hello 2016, let’s get
this thing started!
Oh and just a heads up, over the holidays when work and
family functions got hectic I received two City Letters i.e. emails from
followers asking me questions for advice or just to debate my opinion on some
of the things that I have posted here. The next two blog post will be answering
their emails or what I will term City Letters. Stay tuned and if you have a
question, comment, rant, or whatever feel free to send them to my inbox and I’ll
answer them in a City Letters post.
