THEIR STORY Terrion and Frederick went to the same high school in New Orleans but the two, participating in cheerleading and marching band respectively, never crossed paths while there. In May of 2015, Terrion sent Frederick a friend request on Facebook. “I did not recognize her at all,” he says, so he started a chat in Messenger and asked Terrion how they knew each other. She replied, “High School!” The conversation flowed and eventually Frederick asked if he could get to know Terrion better. “As you can see, she said, ‘Yes!’” he shares. On their third anniversary, Frederick planned a romantic dinner at Fleming’s Prime Steakhouse. For the first surprise of the evening, Frederick hired a limousine to transport them to the restaurant. “She was filled with so much emotion and joy, you could see it on her face,” shares Frederick. But this was just the beginning. As they arrived at the restaurant, Frederick prepared himself for the big moment. “The driver opened up my door and I exited and gathered myself, as I was about to ask the most important question ever in my life, to the woman I love the most,” he says. As Terrion exited the limo, Frederick began to get down on one knee. “She saw me and she instantly began to say, ‘I know you lying!’” says Frederick. “I knelt down, with the ring in hand and attempted to talk, but I was fumbling my words. I then asked, ‘Will you marry me?’ and she replied, ‘YES!’”
