HER STORY…

Occasionally right in the middle of an ordinary life love gives us a fairy tale. Ours begins with our mutual love of hand-dancing. This love led our paths to cross at the VFW one Sunday evening. While taking a break from the wood (aka the dance floor) and “People Watching”; in walks this debonair guy whom I was not familiar with but who immediately made me say, “Oh my goodness, who is he”? By the end of the evening we were engaged in light conversation; we exchanged pleasantries without any corny rap game or flirtations. Darryl was a gentleman, he walked me to my car and much to my surprise, he did not try to hit on me. The highlight of our conversation was his question, “Are you taller than me”? “But of course,”, I replied emphatically, “Yes I am”! Knowing all the while, I was wearing my 4-5-inch heels…. LOL. Although we did not exchange numbers that night, I was intrigued and knew in my mind that there was something about him I wanted to get to know. unlike a carefully choreographed storybook fairytale, Darryl and I would not see each other again until the summer of 2019. With Daryl being a true socialite and this story not being a fairytale, this next encounter should come as no surprise. The next time I saw Darryl was on a date and he did not remember me at all! In his own words “Girl I was drunk that night”. Again, months passed, Darryl and I would cross paths in February 2020, of course at the V again. True to his unencumbered charm, Darryl and I held another conversation. We talked, exchange pleasantries, but we still did not exchange numbers. Darryl proclaimed, “I’ll get your number from a mutual friend.” Me being me said, “oh okay,” when I really wanted to shout: “three zero one, five two zero…… (you know the rest) As I said, his rap game was totally NOT ON POINT. However, now I understand, it was not in God’s plan to take us to the next level at that time.

“The Lord kept him just for me~ until it was time”.

We choose each other to live life hand in hand, side by side.

We choose each other to love with our whole being unconditionally.

We choose each other from the beginning and end of every day. We choose each other in a hundred lifetimes, in a hundred worlds, in any version of reality and we have found each other.

And for that …We chose each other.

HIS STORY …

The first time I laid eyes on her something hit me and said, “she would be a good woman for me”. Not knowing her personality, name or status and just off seeing her, made me a little shy to crack, but we made eye contact, I spoke, and she spoke back with a smile.  Then a man asked her to dance and she did. So as usual, I walked off.   I believe the next time I saw her we had a conversation and that night I walked her to her car, and she claimed I asked her “are you taller than me”?   So, we laughed, she lied and said she was taller than me, but she had on heels... it was funny!  Not that height meant anything because the taller the better.  Because of my lack of rap game, I didn’t ask for her number nor did I want to move on her too fast. One year later, I saw her again, we talked, and I told her I would get her number from her friend.  There were a few times we could have seen each other, but either she would be out, and I wasn’t or vice versa.  Moving forward, it took a few months for me to get her number.   The rest as they say is history: We talked, dated, and most importantly became the best of friends.   I knew she was different in so many ways and I knew she was meant just for me... So, on March 15th I asked her to become my wife and she said “Yes” 💍!! On a serious note - I recognize love requires little effort, but marriage entails so much more determination for our union to be a success. I understand marriage is not just tying the knot with someone and demanding they meet you at your worth but that you both agree to meet at each other’s worth.

WE BOTH THANK OUR HEAVENLY FATHER FOR HIS BLESSINGS

And so, the adventure begins…

Our Story …

So, finally on March 15^th, 2020, our whirlwind romance began… Yes, right in the beginning of the pandemic, but thankfully, it gave us the opportunity to build a strong source of communication. We discovered our commonalities: We both are middle children, he is one of three and I am one of seven; our mutual love for outdoor adventures, picnics, sitting down at the bay in Annapolis, touring parks, botanical gardens, music, dancing, visiting and eating at some amazing restaurants and of course, eating crabs & shrimp.

We both adore, admire and most of all respect each other and do our best not to destroy what we built. We are the opposite in so many ways but a perfect match: We are the milk in each other’s cereal; the music in our ears, the beat in our hearts and the reason, we both smile just a bit harder.

We quickly became each other confidantes. He became my rock and I his motivation. We accept each other as we are: We accept our faults, which meant all the “…” were removed immediately. We learned early on, the key to a successful relationship was seeing one another through, be it good or bad we would be there for the long haul.

We knew early on this day would come and he would be there for me as I would be there for him… “Yes, we fell for each other”.   We know that the Lord has a lot to do with where we are today, and we saw fit to follow His order and that is to become “husband and wife”.

Our family and friends describe us as good for each other. They saw the good, we brought out in each other. Darryl and I describe what we have as a blessing and we thank the Lord daily for the blessing of having each other. We felt the joy and knew we were truly ready for more. We are each other’s “HAPPILY EVER AFTER” and can’t imagine life without the other. We are so looking forward to this new chapter of our lives together.

We want to sincerely thank our family and friends who have shown immense love and support for our bond. We look forward to writing the rest of our story together and can’t wait to celebrate with all our favorite people.
