ROMANCE is alive and well on the University of Mississippi's campus, and there's a TikTok video to prove it.
Pharmacy PhD candidate, Cellas Hayes, implemented a plan to take his relationship with Higher Education Administration Master's student and mother of his son, Mweyeria Offord, to the next level with an elaborate proposal, last week.
Knowing Offord's passion for literature, Hayes said they were going on a date to their favourite restaurant, but needed to stop off at the university's JD Williams Library, where they first met, to get a book.
Offord was sent off on a scavenger hunt through the library picking up quotes printed on cards from seven of her favourite books, with letters capitalised to spell out 'will you marry me?'
Having unscrambled the message, Offord walked out of the library to find a sharply dressed Hayes down on one knee, in the spot where the couple first met, to pop the question.
After seven months of planning, Dispensary Corner is pleased to confirm that Offord said "yes" and the couple are planning to get hitched in Apr 2023 in a small courthouse ceremony, with a larger event to mark their marriage scheduled to take place in 2024, once they have both graduated - and mask requirements will hopefully have been eased.
