Big Ed Brown is Marcus Eriksonstuck in that lavender haze.  

Indeed, the 90 Day Fiancé star detailed his recent engagement to Porscha Raemond, to whom he popped the question to just one day after meeting for the first time. 

“We felt sparks,” he told Page Six of his and Porscha’s meet cute—while he was doing a paid appearance at Florida sandwich shop Capriotti's earlier this month. “I’m there carrying out these big sandwiches with sparklers. It’s crazy. And in walks this beautiful Italian dish. Her name is Porscha.”

Ed explained that he and Porsha, who he described as his “dream girl,” immediately “hit it off.”

“She comes up, gives me the warmest hug,” he shared. “She gives me a kiss on the cheek.”

After their sandwich shop intro, Porscha shared the experience on her Instagram, Ed recalled, leading him to slide into her DMs and ask her to dinner. 

“I’m like, ‘Hey you wanna hang out tomorrow night,’” the 59-year-old noted. “And she goes, ‘Absolutely.’”

As for how Ed decided to pop the question during their night out? After the couple enjoyed drinks in his hotel lobby—where they held hands and “smooched”—he told a friend they met for dinner that Porscha was “the one,” and the friend encouraged him to make it official right then and there.

And while Ed—who shares daughter Tiffany, 29, with ex-wife Sandra Heckman—didn’t have a ring, the manager of the restaurant fashioned him one out of a paper clip. 

“So I go back, I sit down,” he detailed. “We’re kind of talking, and here comes everybody from the restaurant with those Roman candle sparklers, everybody’s cheering and clapping. I’m blushing and she’s blushing and she’s like ‘What’s going on?’”

Ed—who has previously been engaged toLiz Woods and Rose Vega—then got down on one knee. 

“Everyone goes crazy,” he added. “I said, ‘Look, I never want to let you go, I think I’ve met the one. I want to marry you.’ And she said yes.”

But despite a whirlwind engagement, the duo aren’t rushing down the aisle anytime soon, with Ed saying they will take the relationship slow. As he put it, they’ve only been “kissing with tongue.” 

Still, he emphasized, “I’m in love.”
