“90 Day Fiancé” star Ed “Big Ed” Brown says it was “love at first sight” with now-fiancée Porscha Raemond, whom he proposed to 24 hours after meeting in Plantation, Fla., last Friday. “So I’m there carrying out these big sandwiches with sparklers.
It’s crazy. And in walks this beautiful Italian dish. Her name is Porscha,” he exclusively tells Page Six host Astra of their first encounter.
“She comes up, gives me the warmest hug. ..
. She gives me a big kiss on the cheek.” Brown immediately “hit it off” with his “dream girl” Raemond after she arrived the sandwich shop Capriotti’s specifically to him.
“We felt the sparks,” he fondly remembers. Brown — who rose to fame on Season 4 of TLC’s “90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Days” — says he asked her to dinner at YOLO in Fort Lauderdale, Fla., with his friends the following night.
It was at that dinner that he decided he wanted to marry her. Though he did not have a ring, his pal encouraged him to pop the question. “I get down on one knee and everyone goes crazy.
The restaurant was freaking out,” Brown, 59, recalls. “I said, ‘Look I never want to let you go. I think I met the one.
I want to marry you.’ And she said, ‘Yes,’ and we hugged and we kissed.” “[We were] kissing and smooching the whole night,” the reality star adds.
“I’m in love.” While Brown confirms that he proposed with a paperclip ring made by the restaurant manager, he tells Page Six he’s eve.
