How did your love story begin?

We met at Hedonism II in Negril, Jamaica. Fitzroy was a Tennis Pro on the resort and I came to work as an Aerobics Instructor/Personal Trainer for the week. I played tennis so I went over to the tennis courts on October 15, 2000. I met all the pros at the courts. I learned that Fitzroy had three children already. I asked him if he was ever going to get married??? He just said “No, never.” That was our first interaction. We became friends and now 22 years later, here we are! Love is strong!

What is your favorite memory you've shared as a couple?

Our first apartment. We loved that apartment. We eloped at that apartment complex.He had to leave for tennis camp the day after we got married. We were working so hard that year to make it together. We were trying to move through the green card process, learn more about each other, new jobs, get settled in a new town for both of us (and country for him).We just remember all the firsts, the fun, our new friend circle, the learning we had to do as a couple. It made us who we are today as a couple.

What would you do with $20,000?

We would use it to help us pay for our 25th Wedding Anniversary trip for the whole family. We want to take all the kids on a cruise with us and celebrate our love and legacy together. We would also like to use it to have Fitzroy come off the tennis court as a tennis pro. He has been teaching for 41 years and it’s time for rest! We want to also foster children and give them the life all children deserve! No one should be without parents!
