Unfortunately, she did not win the Miss for America crown (Miss Ohio won). However, Lakeisha, got something even better... a proposal by her longtime girlfriend, Toni Lemons, 37. Toni set up a beautiful room filled with roses candles and pictures to surprise Lakiesha when she walked in the door.

They still go back-and-forth as to who actually swiped first to get in contact with the other person. Either way it goes it's very obvious they were the perfect match and are now truly in love with each other.
