“I’m truly blessed to call you my best friend, my lover, and my biggest supporter. So, I hope that you feel the same way towards me. I want to continue to build a Christ-centered relationship in which I will lead and serve you [to] the best of my abilities,” Parks said in his proposal where he also recited a verse from the bible.

“Your genuine, loving, compassionate heart [is] the crown of your beauty. You and the kids are my home and I can’t imagine life without y’all… With that being said, I brought all of our friends, family, and loved ones here today to bear witness, and ask you one thing — Zeinab Harake, would you make me the happiest man in the world and marry me?” he continued.
