orddarryl Rose immediately caught the attention of Jeffrey Williamson in November 2015 while
delivering mail at Jeffrey’s apartment complex in Raleigh. The stop was not part of his typical route as Corddarryl was substituting for the permanent carrier who was off that day. Corddarryl and Jeffrey exchanged a brief “hello” at the mailboxes, though Jeffrey wished they had talked more. After running errands for close to an hour, he was pleasantly surprised to find that Corddarryl was still there, finalizing his mail distribution. The two exchanged social media information to contact each other and eventually plan a first date. After nearly five years of dating, Corddarryl planned to pop the question at a surprise party for Jeffrey’s 30th birthday. On Oct. 24, 2020, Jeffrey was surrounded by friends and received a video from Corddaryl that ended with a proposal. The couple, who now live in Hillsborough, will tie the knot on Sept. 4, 2022, at The StateView Hotel in Raleigh. CHM
