Here is our story as told to the Bert Show on Q100 Atlanta…
My name is A-Kay and I love love love the Bert Show. I have great story that I wanted to share with you all. Back in August 2005 you did a segment called “The Do Date List.” On the morning that you showcased your first do-dater, I just so happened to be in my car listening. As Bert would say, it was destiny that I was in the car at that time because I went to work late that day due to a volunteer project. So I am riding along and as this first guy is being described I liked everything that I heard. Then I hear that he had attended Morehouse College and I was really excited. At that point I was so eager to get to work so that I could see his picture on the Q100 website. I got to work and looked at his photo and profile and I thought “not bad.” I went home and sent him a cute little email describing myself with my picture attached and waited to see if he would respond. Well the next day he did respond and we used email as our main form of communication for a couple of weeks. Then we exchanged numbers and after about a month we decided to go on our first date.
Admittedly, sparks did not fly on that first date, but we continued to get to know each other and communicated via email and phone for about 3 months before we went on our second date. On our second date, not only did sparks fly, but at that point I knew that he was the man for me. The Do Date List was my destiny fulfilled. My sweetheart is very spontaneous and one day we were talking about our future and getting married. So on a whim, he got down on his knee and proposed to me. We started making wedding plans it became very overwhelming and stressful for the both of us. As we were planning, we realized that his lease would be up soon and in order to save money for the wedding we tossed around the idea of moving in together. Because of our beliefs in order to move in together we would need to get married. So we have enrolled in a premarriage workshop and plan to have a private wedding in the last week of this month. After we save a little money, we hope to do something to celebrate with our families and friends.
I just wanted to take the time to say thank you for presenting “The Do Date List” to Atlanta. Because of that very segment, I am now getting ready to marry a wonderful man.
