Nine months ago Wayne Marshall took the hand of his long-time girlfriend Tami Chynn and tied the knot in a private ceremony at the Mona Visitors' Lodge. But now, the spotlight is on her younger sister and vocal powerhouse, Tessanne Chin, who recently got engaged to RJR's sports anchor Michael Anthony Cuffe Jr.
In a recent telephone interview with THE STAR, the songstress was still on cloud nine as her engagement was only two days ago.
She dished out how she was caught off guard with the stunning revelation.
"I was tricked!" she exclaimed. "I was told that it was going to be a surprise party for Cuffe and so I was all set. We did the whole surprise thing and everything." Tessanne, however, wasn't the only one to be shocked by the engagement, as she said, "no one else knew about it except for Tami and Cuffe's sister, so it was a total shock to everyone else, including me. I definitely never saw that coming."
"After surprising him, or so I thought, we were all just sitting around laughing, chatting, eating and just having a good time with family and friends and then it happened," she said excitedly. "It all felt so surreal to me. I really thought that I was in a dream. I was shocked but happy at the same time, and hoping that if it were a dream that I wouldn't wake up." (laughs out loud).
Tessanne admits that it is still early so no date has been set as yet. And, for those who thought that it was unexpected, Tessanne confessed that "Cuffe has been my best friend for over four years now, but we became more than best friends six months ago, and so we are moving to the next step."
