OUR LOVE STORY THE BIG DAY MEET THE WEDDING PARTY
Who would’ve ever thought... We first met at Punt’s church back in 2019. I went there to take pictures for my sister, who also attends his church. Every time I turned around, he was staring at me and I was like what the heck is he looking at? So I didn’t think nothing of it and finished the pictures. Once I was finished, I went on about my business.
Mother’s Day and he bought me a pair of blue and lime green Air Max. Anybody that knows me know I love some Air Max! He always sent me good morning beautiful texts, asked me how my day was going, what I ate, and always told me good night. On his off days or before work he would make sure he came to wash my car, fill it up with gas and bring me lunch.
I saw him again at a block party and he was looking at me again. He inboxed me August 2019 and said, “You was beautiful Saturday.” I didn’t reply. A couple days later he said, “How your day going?” I didn’t reply. So then on my birthday I finally replied!
We decided to make it official in June of 2020 and take our first vacation to Myrtle Beach. Since then, it’s been nothing but making beautiful memories. He proposed August 2021 at our baby shower. He also proposed to my other 2 children with a necklace before asking me to marry him. Still to this day I adore him and get chills when I think about it because he loves them just as much as me!
We texted for a few months then I started ignoring him again because I started to catch feelings. He wrote me January 2020, and I was like OK, he’s not going to give up. He would always ask could we talk on the phone or FaceTime. I would say no. I kept telling my friends Tara and Shana and my cousin Princess how he was sending me these sweet messages, but he’s probably just putting on like the rest of these dudes. They all told me to just give it a try and keep my guard up. So I took their advice and called him for the first time. After hearing his voice and the first conversation over the phone, I was like OK, I might just like him. I let him take me on our first date May 2020 around
We now have a beautiful baby girl that we named Stori because as you can see there’s a Stori behind her! 3 years later he continues to send the good morning beautiful text, he still asks how my day going, brings me lunch, keeps my car clean and fills my car up. Being in the hospital on my dying bed, him being by my side and never leaving unless forced to reassured me that he was the one for me. I guess it’s safe to say dreams do come true! He always told his brother he would get me one day and he always told me I would have his kids and be his wife. He’s definitely the type of guy that I’ve always dreamed of doing life with!
