Surprise Proposal At Funeral; Engagement Ring
Mercedes Javid, also known as "MJ," is a real estate agent and a reality star. Mercedes finally tied the nuptial knot with her fiance of more than a year, Tommy Feight.
Tommy got down on one knee with an engagement ring for his girl back in 2016 after dating her for around a year. At the time, Mercedes' engagement rumors were flying around, but the details, not so much.

But when the show aired a few months later, it came to light that Tommy had popped the question in a cemetery during the most unexpected situation which caught her by surprise.
