#JSULove - “Our love story began in the fall of 2013 on the campus of Jackson State University. After being introduced by mutual friend Jasmine Jackson, Jessica and I quickly became inseparable. We would spend numerous hours on the phone, hang out after classes and meet for lunch in the cafeteria almost every day.

Little did Jessica know, I knew the minute I met her that I would make her my wife one day.

A year after we met, Jessica was talking to me on the phone, and her mother said to her, ‘Are you SURE Rashad isn't the one you should be with?’ And it was at that moment Jessica finally realized that I was the one for her. Shortly after, we began courting.

During my 22nd birthday party, we decided it was time to become a legitimate couple, and we began dating "officially." We dated for two years - enjoying many laughs, trips out of town and college events together as boyfriend and girlfriend. However, it wasn't until December 31, 2016, that both of our lives would change forever.

Jessica assumed we were just taking a trip to celebrate the New Year, but I had a different plan. On New Year's Eve, we climbed the well-known Stone Mountain in Atlanta, Georgia with some good friends. When we reached the top, I professed my love to her. I said: ‘Just as this mountain proved itself to be difficult to climb, so will the obstacles we will face in this lifetime. But I know, without a shadow of a doubt, you are the only woman I want to tackle it with.’ And then I got down on one knee - before God, our friends, and Facebook Live - to ask her to marry me.” - Rashad (Class of 2016), on his marriage to Jessica (Class of 2019)

Congratulations, Rashad and Jessica!
