Pine Bluff-natives Alyse Rabun and William Tatum III are engaged! The couple currently resides in Shreveport, La., and have the ceremony at Cherry Street AME Zion Church in Pine Bluff on June 2.

Here's how Alyse explains it:

We were at my sister's house the day before the Super Bowl. William stopped by after having lunch with his mom and brought me a fortune cookie. I put it beside me and continued what I was doing. My niece told me to open it and see if it comes true like last time. So I opened it, and inside was a piece of paper which read:

‘Wedding bells are in your immediate future, if you choose to hear them. Confucius say that William Tatum III is a lucky guy to have found you. Your sweet, sweet, sweet love (inside joke) is one William Tatum III can't live without.’

Then he guided me to the front door and covered my eyes. We walked outside to a big, shaking, giggling gift-wrapped box on the sidewalk. I tore it open, and up popped my other niece with a flashlight on her forehead and a ring box in her hand. He then got down on one knee and proposed.

We wish the couple a happy marriage in the years to come!
