Monica and Shannon Brown are preparing for their upcoming wedding celebration (despite making it official eight months ago). And in an effort to find a “menu that works for everybody from Chicago to Atlanta,” the couple sat down with ABC at The Kitchen in Los Angeles to taste test food, discuss how they first met and give tips for first dates.

Monica On How They Met:

“I go to work, and I have been for over 16 years and in the video [for “Love All Over Me”] we got married, and I didn’t expect that 6 months later we would do so in real life. That’s the way it worked out. That’s my first time ever seeing him, there [on the music video shoot].”

Monica On “Safe” First Date Foods:

“I had a steak. I had potatoes. I mean, there’s no safe way to me. When you start putting on facades, you mess it up instantly, so I say ‘be you.’ That’s the safe way.

Everything sounds delicious!
