I think out of all the proposals I've seen, this is my favorite because they're both crying tears of joy and it seems the most genuine.

I been knowing jobba for over 30 years and he's a God fearing man and have a beautiful family and loved by many. His dad and mother raised him well! He will definitely treat her well without a doubt 💜 Congratulations you guys. Praise God 👏 keep it up and always put God 1st. 🙏

I decided that I would try and find Val's proposal on YouTube. I watched the show that day her fiancé proposed to her. I am so excited for them both. Watching "Windy City Live" has been such an inspiration to me. Ryan and Val are just awesome! I love them! It hasn't been the same since I can't watch the show Monday through Thursday. "The Tamron Hall" show is great, but I miss Val and Ryan. Congratulations to you both, Ryan and Val on your next great moves. Thank you for such wonderful content and bringing joy and inspiration to me. Watching Val's wedding proposal has me in tears of joy and hope. Congratulations to Val and her husband! You both look beautiful together.
