Fatima is wearing a long champagne colored dress that shows the right amount of cleavage and a slit that's arguably high but hey yk what the say "the higher the slit the closer to heaven". Zac is also matching her fly wearing a black tux and he got a fresh clean cut and shave. They walk into the venue holding hands as Fatima gasps in awe at the decor, it's a garden set-up that looks like this:

Fatima: wowww Dr J lied to us! Exclusive event my ass! Why they got so many tables if it's just supposed to be 4 couples?Zac: (chuckles and kisses her forehead) idk baby, let's go find our seatFatima: you look handsome baby and you smell good too!...

Fatima: wowww Dr J lied to us! Exclusive event my ass! Why they got so many tables if it's just supposed to be 4 couples?
Zac: (chuckles and kisses her forehead) idk baby, let's go find our seat
Fatima: you look handsome baby and you smell good too!
Zac: thank you! You look ravishing yourself! Just wait til tonight, imma rip that dress off you (smirks)
Fatima: boyyyy! Stop being nasty (laughs)

As they sit down the lights suddenly go out and it gets pitch black dark...

Fatima: Zac, what's going on?
Zac: idk baby, stay here lemme go check it out

He stands up and leaves Fatima sitting by the table, she sits alone in the dark for some minutes until she decides to use her phone flashlight to go find Zac.... just as she's about to stand, the lights turn back on. She looks around and sees her friends and family along with Zac's. She smiles and walks toward them asking "what are yall doing here"... And then music starts playing from the DJ setup behind her...

I recall when we first met, a long time ago
How could I forget they way I felt
When I first laid eyes on you
I remember saying to my friends
There is my future wife and then
I took the step to meet
Someone who would change my life
It had to be my destiny
'Cause I was made to love you
My hands, to touch you
My arms, to hold ya, my legs to stand
My time, to spend with ya forever
I was made, made to love ya
My lips to kiss ya
My eyes to see you, my legs to stand
I was made
Made to love you

Zac walks up to her holding a bouquet of her favorite flowers (white hydrangeas).

Fatima: (shocked) baby what's going on?
Zac: (smiles and hands her the flowers) these are for you! Beautiful flowers for my beautiful girl
Fatima: (smiles) thank you baby!! But what's all th- **gets interrupted**

The DJ now starts playing the intro to Fatima's favorite song, the song she has always sworn must be played the day she gets married/ engaged.

"Ouuu that's my songggg" she walks closer to the stage setup and that's when Snoh Aalegra walks on to the stage

Somethin' 'bout the way that you talk to me
Even when you're not around, I feel you boy, I feel you boy, yeah
Tangled in your love and your energy
Perhaps it was the way that you smiled
I see you boy, oh I need you boy, yeah, yeah, yeah

I've been waitin' my whole life, to find someone like you
Find someone like you, yeah, yeah, yeah
I've been waitin' my whole life, to find someone like you
Find someone like you
Maybe I, I want this, I want this to last forever
Maybe I, I want this, can we make this last forever?

She turns back around and sees Zac on one knee. Tears instantly start falling from her eyes as she slowly walks back to Zac while Snoh continues performing in the background, singing a bit softer...


Fatima: (crying) baby what are you doing?
Zac: well like the song says... can we make this last forever?

The room is filled with "awwws" as the crowd laughs.

Zac: (holds her hand) Fatima Marie Wilson you're the best thing that has ever happened to me! I truly believe that God made me for the sole purpose of loving you. I knew from the very first day I laid my eyes on you that you'd be my wife and the mother of my future kids. We've already got a bun in the oven, all that's left is for you to say yes to the other part. Can we make this last forever? (Opens the ring box) will you marry me?
Fatima: (crying trying to catch a breathe) yessssssss!
Zac: (also crying, puts the newly upgraded diamond ring on her finger) I love you
Fatima: I love you more (they share in a passionate kiss while the crowd around them applaud)

Snoh: congratulations Mr and Mrs Taylor. I wish you nothing but the best on this journey of love
Zac: thank you sm for coming through Snoh **she leaves because she has a show to get to**

Fatima: baby how'd you pull this off? When did you even get the family to fly out?
Zac: (chuckles) I didn't work alone. Your friends helped out alot!!

Fatima smiles and walks towards Lori and Angela to give them hugs and thank them.

The rest of the night is a joyous occasion, it's love, good vibes and laughter all around. Keep in mind this is technically the first time Fatima gets to meet Zac's family, they've only occasionally spoken on the phone.

Anita (Zac's mom): congratulations you two! (Playfully twists Zac's ear) Zac why is this the first time I'm meeting my beautiful daughter-in-law? You ain't even tell me yall are expecting!
Zac: (oww-laughs) idk mama, everything kinda happened so fast! She's met Jeremiah though
Anita: (rolls her eyes) now you know yo brother is not an accurate description of what this family represents
Zac: (laughs) yeaa I know, speaking of... where is he?
Anita: idk baby, he said sumn about he's outta town but he will be there for Thanksgiving. (Looks at Tima and smiles) Fatima your new family would be delighted to have you join us
Fatima: (smiles) thank you Mrs Taylor! We'll definitely be there
Anita: (hugs her) perfect!!! Can't wait to get to know you more and share my secret recipes
Fatima: (smiles) I can't wait too!
Anita: well excuse me while I get a drink! Don't worry I'll drink on your behalf (laughs and walks away)

Fatima: aww well your mother seems sweet
Zac: (chuckles) yeaa she can be sweet when she wanna be
Fatima: thank you sm for tonight baby. You made me feel loved and I'll forever cherish this moment. I love you Zachary Luther Taylor
Zac: and I love you more Fatima Marie Taylor (he gently grabs her waist as they indulge in yet another passionate kiss)
Nicki: ewww get a room (laughs)

Dr J makes her way to the stage and gently taps her champagne glass with a teaspoon to get everyone's attention.

Dr J: ladies and gentlemen thank you for coming out tonight to celebrate black love! Congratulations to Zatima and all the other couples who successfully completed their couples therapy. Tonight's all about yall!

The crowd erupts in loud cheers and applause.

Dr J: as my closing statement I'd like to share a few words dedicated to my favorite couple

|The speech|

In all my years of practice I have never encountered a couple that loves each other like these two! I watched yall argue, fight, cry and laugh, but through it all the love you share never faded! In fact, it blossomed into a new creation, baby Taylor! I am so proud of you two and I wish you nothing but grace and prosperity on this new journey you'll be embarking on. (Raises her glass)
to the Taylor's!!!
