Russell Wilson and his romantic side

They found the Georgian Hotel to be the perfect spot. Before walking into the Hotel Russell made sure that the lighting and everything was just perfect. They later had the lights dimmed a bit so as to ensure a private and subtle ambiance.

“You dimmed the light so we could like really have a private moment but also knowing you because you’re so romantic you just were kind of making everything right which was really sweet and it was cute,” recalled Ciara.

They had nothing fancy. Russell had a massive cheeseburger and a pitcher of water, which appeared crazy to Ciara because she was on her gallon kick at that moment.

Wilson and Ciara were just trying to make the most of their time by doing small things that might have been funny but were really special.
