Tom Hanks’ Forrest Gump once said“Love is like a box of chocolates—you never know what you’re gonna get.”Well, in the case of90 Day Fiancéstar Edward ‘Big Ed’ Brown, the man seems to have an uncanny knack for picking the most unorthodox chocolates in the box.
This reality TV veteran, at the age of 59, has once again thrown caution to the wind and gotten engaged for the fourth time following a romance that lasted a mere 24 hours. And if that hasn’t given you enough to chew on, his proposal to Porscha Raemond included a paper-clip borrowed from a restaurant manager at a sandwich shop in Plantation, Florida.
Big Ed Finds Love for the Fourth Time with Porscha Raemond?
It seems that Big Ed is determined to prove that love can be found in the most unexpected places—and apparently, in the most unconventional ways. This time around, he’s announced his engagement to Porscha Raemond, marking his fourth romantic commitment in a rather unique twist of fate (viaTMZ).

The couple’s story began at Capriotti’s, a sandwich shop in Plantation, Florida. Ed was there for a“Big Ed Meet & Greet,” and who knew that a casual visit to a shop would turn into a full-blown love affair? According to the reality TV star, the meeting was nothing short of serendipitous. He toldPage Six:
I met her at Capriotti’s in Plantation on Friday where I was doing a Big Ed Meet & Greet. They serve the most delicious subs I have ever tried and everyone should know you could meet the next love of your life there!
It seems that a great sandwich might just be the secret ingredient to romance. Their instant connection was described as“love at first bite”.
Ed’s proposal was equally offbeat. During a dinner at YOLO in Fort Lauderdale, he popped the question with a ring fashioned from a paper-clip! Yes, you read that right—a paperclip. While it might sound like something out of a quirky rom-com, sources have confirmed that this engagement is“definitely real”(via TMZ).
Let’s take a brief look back at Ed’s relationship history. Before his latest engagement, he was married to Sandra Heckman, with whom he had a daughter. Their marriage ended in 1992 (per TMZ’s report). His subsequent relationships have also captured public attention. His first high-profile appearance was on90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Days, where his romance with Rose Vega encountered numerous challenges, leading to their split.
He later appeared on90 Day: The Single Life, where he met Liz Woods. Their relationship was marked by multiple breakups and reconciliations, ultimately ending in separation. Now, with his fourth engagement underway, here’s hoping Ed and Raemond’s love story defies the odds and lasts.
