Carine and Julius’ Traditional Cameroonian Engagement in New York

Having first met as co-workers, the love story of Carine and Julius first began on Carine’s last day at the office when Julius offered to take her out to lunch. A lasting impression was left on them both that quickly rekindled a month later at a mutual friends baby baptism where they exchanged numbers. Their first date was full of great conversation over a casual dinner at AppleBee’s – an evening that would leave them inseparable ever after…

Tell us how you met and all about the proposal. We met at work. He offered to take me out to lunch on my last day at the office and then we parted ways. A month later, we met at a mutual friend’s baby baptism and that’s when we exchanged numbers. Unfortunately our proposal was not a surprise, I spoiled it by being too nosy and asking too many questions!

Describe your engagement session. Our engagement session was awesome! We knew we wanted to wear traditional Cameroonian outfits but left everything else to our fantastic team of vendor who pulled everything together!

What did you do on your first date? Our first date was dinner at AppleBee’s.

What’s your favorite thing to do as a couple? We like to spend each second together, we love to chill at home with no one else around just the two of us.
