Transcript
00:00We met 25 years ago in high school. We were actually always together. We have three amazing
00:13children and two dogs. It was about 25 years ago and I was actually at a nightclub and so I made
00:23my laps around, made my laps around and took a few drinks before I would finally approach her and
00:30introduce myself. We met at college at Mississippi Valley State University. She saw me sitting on the
00:36steps with one of my friends and of course she came to me and it was over from there.
00:40That's true. Last Saturday we celebrated 11 years of marriage.
00:44I did actually, didn't I? And we just met within like about two weeks. And he told me he loved me after two weeks. It was kind of as a joke, but you know, I didn't, yeah.
00:57He did.
00:59I would say God brought us together in our names. We're Archie and Veronica from the comics. So when I met him, I knew that he was my forever.
01:11I think because he's patient. I'm the one that is always very out there and out there.
01:17With the fire, you know, I'm kind of calm. I'm not asking for too much.
01:21Yeah, yeah.
01:22We can be honest. We can be truthful with one another. We can be vulnerable with one another. I can share with her my dreams and she understands and she supports me.
01:31Very passionate, very affectionate.
01:36He's an amazing man. He's a protector. He's a great father, a great husband. He's everything that I prayed for in a man. We have our ups and downs, but overall he's my very best friend.
01:49His belief in me and my dreams, his support and just his unconditional, prideless love.
01:58It's actually knitted at my soul. She has, she's the only woman that God has ever shown me that was for me. It's, I look at her, sometimes she wakes up in the morning and I'm just sitting there staring at her. Yeah.
02:16Cause she's most beautiful to me first thing in the morning. Before the horns start growing.
02:27Talk, communicate, be open.
02:30Last year, we realized how important communication is away time from everyone for the two of you to be able to open up and talk to each other and listen to understand and not listen to respond.
02:41Our Love by Natalie Cole and A Couple of Forevers by Chrisette Michelle.

02:54I think that was good.
02:56That was good.
