Roderick and Amber’s journey began at Langston University, where they shared classes and slowly became acquainted. Though life moved on, destiny had other plans. In 2016, Amber moved to Texas—and that’s when their love story truly took root. They shared a first date in November of that year, a spark flickering between them, but the timing wasn’t quite right. Life led them down separate paths, and they drifted apart. Then, in May 2017, fate brought them back together. This time, the connection was undeniable. What started as a rekindled friendship blossomed into something deeper, stronger. Through life’s challenges and triumphs, their bond only grew—turning into a beautiful, enduring love. Now, they share not only their hearts but a home in the Pleasant Grove area of Dallas, Texas—with their four cherished dogs completing their little family.
