BMWK: Brittany, what was your initial reaction? I found myself talking to the screen telling you to turn around because you were going to miss the proposal.
(All Laugh)
Brittany: It was funny because I just felt like we were having a really good day. I was putting things on Instagram and we had just been having fun that whole day. We had gone to lunch and the beach (I had that little dress on) and we get to my grandparents’ house and I was wondering why my friends were there. I was overwhelmed. I was really emotional because my mom had passed away 3 years ago from Ovarian Cancer and the fact that she wasn’t there to see this added to my emotions. I was happy and overwhelmed.

BMWK: So sorry for your loss. What is your reaction to how everyone else has responded?
Brittany: It has been amazing. It was on World Star Hip Hop, can’t believe it has gone that far. The responses have been great. People have said things like “you gave me hope” and “because of you I want to fight for my marriage”.
Adrian: One site said they had 4.5 million hits. Other men have stopped me and said “Man, you set the bar high”. I’m in shock because I wasn’t trying to do something viral; I just really love this girl. I love that her mom approved of me. Me and her mom were close. I never thought this would happen. Young people have been sending messages saying “I gave up on love but you have given me so much hope”
Brittany: Yeah, I have received messages saying “big girls get love and they can get a cute guy too”. I want to respond back to everyone who has sent me a message. I have also been hearing from women with low self-esteem.
BMWK: You made love look good. It gave us all hope.
Brittany: It’s like the bible scripture “He who finds a wife finds a …”
Adrian: Finds a GREAT thing.
BMWK: Tell me this, why was there no traffic on the street? Did you block the streets too?
Brittany: (laughs) it was so funny that’s usually a busy street.
Adrian: One car started to come down, but it turned off because they saw what I was doing. Brittany’s Grandmother said it was her daughter’s spirit (Brittany’s mom was there) in spirit.
BMWK: What are the goals for your marriage?
Brittany: Keep God first. Family and friends are good, but we have to focus on us, the relationship. We decided to both give 100% each, not 50/50. We support each other, I am going to finish nursing school and he supports me. He is working on plays and I support him. I also plan to write a book to share my story. We both love young people, so maybe a non-profit. And maybe in about 4-5 years, we’ll start our family. His mom wants grandkids soon.
BMWK: What advice would you give to other couples?
Adrian: Communication is key, outside of love. Trust God in your decision making. My parents have been married for 35 years and I take to heart what they say. Especially don’t go to bed mad. What if your partner doesn’t wake up? Our communication is what sets us apart from other couples. We have to stay true to each other and talk about our issues and focus on the relationship. We also hang around other couples.
Brittany: And see what to do as well as what not to do. You have to keep people out of your business. Not everyone means you well. Stay focused.
BMWK: Last question, has a wedding date been set yet?
Brittany: Yes, September 2014 and our colors are teal and copper. September is significant because it is Ovarian Cancer awareness month and the color is teal. So it’s perfect. Adrian actually chose that month.
BMWK: Because of Ovarian Cancer Awareness month?
Brittany: Yes, because of my mom.
Adrian: It was an important month. We’ll probably marry toward the end of the month, because her mom passed at the beginning of September. It’ll be sad, but then we can end the month on a happy note.
BMWK: Thank you both so much. I send thoughts, prayers and love your way. I hope this won’t be the last time we speak.
Brittany: Thank you. No, we will speak again.
This interview was my absolute favorite. This is an amazing couple who already have the perfect foundation for their marriage in place. Put God first. I couldn’t have said it better myself.

WOW, every time I watch this video I cry and after reading the interview I cried even more learning about Brittany mom passing away 3 years ago. You are a beautiful woman and your groom to be is handsome as well. You two make a beautiful couple. I am a full size woman as well and the self confidence that radiates from this video and your interview is awesome. God gave me my prince charming as well and when you are a full size woman and God sends you your prince charming that accepts you for what is on the inside it is a wonderful feeling. My husband and I will be married 10 years September 2013. We are in our 30’s. So there is love for young people you must be patient and let God do the searching and the finding. I wish you all well and you are off to a wonderful start and that is having God as the foundation you will not and cannot go wrong!!!! Beautiful proposal!!!!!
WOW!!! What a beautiful proposal. I was at work, shhh!, when I looked at it. I saw it was about 7min and said…I won’t look at it all just some. BUT…when I start watching I was mesmerized. You two brought a love to, I’m sure, everyone who have watched your video.Prayerfully, you two have inspired many couples to look at their own relationship to see what they came do to bring their love back, if it’s lacking, or just inprove on it. I wish you two all the best in all that the Lord have in store for you. JUST BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!
I absolutely love this couple. Ive known them for little over a year and the love they have for each other is real. Its not for show. Im glad they are getting married. And can’t wait to witness there union come next September…..muah!!!!!
To you guys you are on the right path always keep god first and most definitely keep people out of you relationship and you will have a long lasting marriage. I was 21 when I married my husband and we have been married for 18 years now and I’m still in love with him like I was from that first day we meet. He still give me those little flutters in my stomach on some of the things he does we have a relationship that we both give 100 percent and we love each other so much. I see that for you and Adrian also just keep the faith and trust strong and you will have a long lasting and happy marriage. GOD BLESS YOU BOTH.

I’m just seeing the video this year. It’s like a fairytale. Reminds me of my daughter and her now husband. He loves her more than life like Asian love Brittney. She is also not the average size American girl and she is 6 feet tall. You both give hope for ladies of all sizes and shapes. Many blessing to you both.
Adrian that is…
