Story

The love between Alexis and Stephen - or should we say, “Deuce” - began on the campus of Jackson State University, circa 2014. During a freshman week event, Stephen introduced himself to Alexis as “Deuce,” however, not much stemmed from this initial interaction. Stephen made a point to always speak to Alexis when they crossed paths on campus, but, she would always claim to be "too busy" to stop and chat for too long. A year later, Alexis finally made an effort to attend one of the many events Stephen had invited her to and made sure to let it be known that she did in fact come support the event.

 

It was during the summer of 2015 when Alexis came to her senses and finally decided to give this persistent man an opportunity to be in her life - Thank God! From there, the two went on a few dates and had plenty conversations about life, expectations, and goals.

 

If you know Alexis, you know that she has a strong addiction to cake/cupcakes. One day, Stephen offered to get Alexis’ car and have it detailed. This particular day her craving for cake was like no other. Stephen informed her that he would return the car along with a small cake to satisfy this outrageous craving. He returned the car only to inform her that he had forgotten the cake. At this point, he might as well had not washed the car! A few minutes later after leaving the campus, Stephen called Alexis and told her he left something in her trunk and asked her to go check it. When she opened the trunk, there was her cake, along with flowers and a sign asking her to be his girlfriend. She called Stephen back with the biggest Kool-aidsmile and was ecstatic with her “yes”. From there the rest is history. Now, we will soon gather to witness the final, forever “Yes”.
