How did your love story begin?

We met through Jaymel’s cousin(whom I worked with). He was trying to get us to met for months until I eventually gave in and I’m glad I did..lol. We dated for about 2 years but Jaymel said that he knew I was his wife within 6 months of us dating. We became best friends and it grew from there. I love how we can just talk and laugh about anything. He’s definitely.my safe place as I am for him. My husband is an AMAZING man and I thank God that he was created just for me.

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

The day that we renewed our vows. It was as if we were getting married for the first time all over again. We both were sooo nervous . We looked at each other and said why are so nervous and then started laughing. It was our first time having a wedding because when we first got married we went to the courthouse.

What would you do with $20,000?

First, we would pay our tithes. Then give to the homeless (which is something that we both love to do each month by preparing meals, giving away clothes and blankets). Finally, we would put some in savings and take a family vacation with our 3 children, something we haven’t been able to do in a very long time.
