“Who can find a virtuous woman? For her price is far above rubies,” Joe Bullard recited from Proverbs 31:10 over the Orlando Citrus Bowl’s public announcement system. “Who can find a virtuous woman that overflows with so much beauty? Orlando, if you look at the 50 yard line, you’ll find the virtues in Miss Kindall Johnson.”As Bullard spoke, former FAMU Student Body Vice-President Calvin Hayes escorted his longtime college girlfriend onto the field before a crowd of 60,218 during the Florida Classic's halftime show.
“Kindall,” Bullard said. “Calvin wants to know…Will you be his wife?”
On cue, Hayes promptly knelt down on one knee and offered the former Miss Florida Agricultural & Mechanical University an engagement ring. She responded with an excited “yes!”
In the background, the Marching 100 played the couple’s favorite song: “Always and Forever.”
