So I asked her if she was a musician, and she responded in the affirmative although I said no when she asked if I had heard of her before. She then told me that God has blessed me and when i asked her what she meant, she asked if I had dated before which I said no because I would be committing sin against my body then she went on to ask my name and asked if she could be my friend which I accepted then right there and then when she proposed to me, I thought it was a way God was using to bless me although I thought she was joking in the beginning.” He told Razzonline.com.
