SO, EXACTLY HOW DID YOU MEET?
In 2001, Lorraine was a freshman in college, living in Paddyfoote Dorm. One night, a student was playing his DJ equipment in the dorm’s courtyard, and Lorraine and all of her friends were outside dancing and enjoying the evening. Cedric walked by, and Lorraine shouted “ayyyee there!” to catch his attention. Lorraine gave Cedric her phone number, and he responded with “go to your room, I’m going to call you now.” Needless to say, Lorraine didn’t follow as instructed, and Cedric made a fuss about it on her answering machine, but she called back the next day, and they’ve been inseparable since that moment.
HOW DID YOU KNOW THIS WAS GOING TO BE THE PERSON THAT YOU WOULD MARRY?
Cedric: “I knew that Lorraine was the one because no matter how bad things got, she was still there. I got to a low point in life, but it was always a great time when we were together. She made things so much better.”
DESCRIBE THE PROPOSAL?
Cedric: “I graduated from FAMU, and my parents threw me a graduation party. Lorraine, as usual, was busy helping out with the party. I stopped her to come over to the camcorder held by my Step-Dad and told her she needed to leave me a congratulatory message. In the midst of me talking about our road to graduation, I set her up for the proposal”
HOW DO YOU CHOOSE WHICH HOMECOMING YOU ATTEND EACH YEAR? (Ignore if you attended same School).
HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN MARRIED?
12 years
How do you Balance Work, Home and Fun Times?
Our entire relationship, we’ve been a pretty busy couple. We do almost everything together, except work; we are best friends. We’ve always believed in leaving work at work, and always making time for ourselves no matter what. This could consist of staying in the house and turning our backyard into a movie night with a projector screen (we are movie buffs). On other occasions, we may decide to grill and have a few friends over to hang out. We try to remember that work is a necessity, but family is our priority.
