COLUMBUS, Ohio (WCMH)–Cjai Harrison knew he wanted to ask his friend A’daya Holman to prom–but he didn’t want to do it in any ordinary way.

Both are new at Independence High School this year, and they became good friends. As prom got closer, Harrison began planning how to ask Holman.

He came up with a truly sweet idea–using candy bars in a message to her.

Harrison got his mom and his aunt to help him write the sign, which he presented to Holman during lunch.

She accepted, of course.

“I was so close to crying and I was so emotional,” Holman said. “It was a great moment.”
