Our Story
His Version
Her Version
Love at first sight is what they call it, I never knew It could be a real thing. As God continued to work on me during a dark time in my life, I prayed the prayer to God to bless me with someone that will accept me for who I am, but ultimately help guide me to be a better man.
My prayer was answered when I reached out to my bro Aric B. Flemming to introduce me to Analisa. Blessedly, it happened, and I began learning and connecting with the woman of my dreams!
Eagerly, I asked her to be my girlfriend within 2 weeks of knowing her, but I knew that our connection was different, it was spiritual!
Through learning, my beautiful, inspiring, intelligent, and down to earth girlfriend I knew within in my heart that she was meant to be wife! 4 years later, and now I get to be with my best-friend, lover, twin, for the rest of my life!!

Love suffers long and is kind; love does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not puffed up; does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked, thinks no evil; does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth; bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never fails.
