Two Couples Got Engaged Over Homecoming Weekend And It Was Peak #Black Love

Two Couples Got Engaged Over Homecoming Weekend And It Was Peak #Black Love
By Lauren Porter · Updated October 26, 2020

There is nothing like an amazing homecoming experience especially when there is a little Black love sprinkled on top. 

Over the weekend, two couples became engaged while returning to their respective schools, Howard University and the University of Minnesota, and it was honestly everything.

In the first proposal that stole our hearts, a man of Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, Inc., got down on one knee and asked his girlfriend to be his bride. As his frat brothers cheered him on and laid yellow roses at her feet, the couple embraced in a loving hug as she said “yes.”

Another proposal made our hearts smile and it all happened during a homecoming football game. The couple made their way onto the field where the future groom got down on one knee. Little did the soon-to-be bride know, her whole family was behind her, cheering the two of them on as she emphatically accepted his proposal.

She was so excited, she didn't notice her family standing there until we were walking off the field!! @ern_thewill2beright you did it and did it BIG!! @jaismanp this is the first step into forever with your Godsend! #HeChooseYou #MinnesotaGophers #TheWheelwrightWay #TheBlackBride #thecoordinatedbride #theproposal #theblackman

We dare you not to smile at these viral proposals because they have happily ever after written all over them!
