How did your love story begin?

Our love began with a Facebook friend request. Cheyl was so close to deleting it but listened to the voice that told her to accept. We talked everyday, every Chance we got because we were 7 hours apart in time zones. In two weeks we knew we were in love. All of our core values were in sync and we were physically attracted, as well. Ani is the protector and soft love Cheyl has always yearned for. She is his biggest fan, his greater supporter. Loving each other is an honor.

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

When Cheyl travelled to Nigeria to meet Ani in person for the first time. From the moment we met our love solidified. We felt like we had been together forever. We were so comfortable together.

What would you do with $20,000?

Twenty Thousand dollars would take us on a honeymoon because the next day after getting married Cheyl had to return to the US. The rest of the money would be put aside to start a business that Ani has always dreamt of starting.
