Brides Full Name Kerlange Claude
Grooms Full Name Lloyd Alexandre
Tell us how you met and all about the proposal.
We met at Kean University in our social statistics class. We were classmates which later evolved into a friendship and later a relationship.
The proposal happened at our house. It was on December 20, 2015 Lloyd told me that he wanted me to assist him with putting something together. When he pulled out the box, he said Merry Christmas. I opened the box and it was a bicycle. I have always wanted a bicycle so I was excited! We ended up putting the bike together and during the clean up process, he stayed down on one knee and asked me to marry him. I gladly said yes!
