THE PROPOSAL: "Ten months later, I knew I was ready for the next step and had to be tricky to surprise Shara for the proposal. I asked her parents for their approval a few months prior and when they could make it to Atlanta. I wanted our close family and friends to be there too, so I rented out a rooftop in Midtown Atlanta for the dozens to
gather. I previously took her there early in our dating and remembered how much she loved it. To throw her off of the surprise I told her we were going to a Chris Rock comedy show and we're going to meet another couple at a rooftop bar until showtime. As soon as we arrived at the rooftop, she was shocked to see everyone who traveled from around the country. Speechless with eyes full of tears, she turned around and saw me one knee. I have no clue what I said, but she said Y ES!" - Michael WHAT DID YOU DO ON YOUR FIRST DATE? "Our f irst off icial date was a casual night on Edgewood Avenue playing pool at the local pub followed by a "romantic" meal at Harold's Fried Chicken. Once Michael saw me devour every last piece of my meal without hesitation, he instantly knew I was being genuine and he appreciated it." - Shara
WHAT'S YOUR FAVORITE THING TO DO AS A COUPLE? "EAT. Some people eat to live, we live to eat! The diverse cultures that make up Atlanta offer countless restaurant options with different themes and atmospheres. We like to immerse ourselves in the dining experience and bond over thoughtful conversation and laughter. We both come from families that center their gatherings around good food and fellowship so it's an emotional thing for us as well."
