Welcome to our wedding website! We can’t wait to celebrate with you!

Her Story On that faithful Sunday, while at work I kept getting notifications from him. I felt it was a lot of messages for one person to send to another within a short time. Many months before I met Michael, I had curiously registered my profile on a dating site. I never went there. As for me, it was just me being curious. The only time I went there, I saw 175 messages and I told myself, this is definitely a mistake and I am going to unsubscribe to avoid clogging up my emails. This thought lingered for months without me ever remembering to take action. So on that faithful Sunday, I was watching service online while at work. All of a sudden, I was getting all of these messages on my phone. All I kept seeing was one name “Michael Blake”. I wondered and that was certainly enough to catch my attention. I decided to reply. He was shocked I replied and excited at the same time. He asked for my number and I gave it to him. He rang me. We got talking and days ran into weeks. He would consistently send me a message every morning with Bible passages. At first, I wasn’t sure what I was doing. From day one, Michael was certain of what he wanted and he was not looking back. It took me a while to get there. He was overly caring. I thought it was a bit intense— just like the persistent messages, but I said okay, this will go away or reduce. But no. He’s been consistent and like we say in our culture, no fly can come near me without Michael coming to my rescue. We went visiting my friends outside London. My phone rang, so I stepped out to take the call, in order not to disrupt the fellowship. When I returned to the living room to join everyone else, there he was on his knees with a ring in his hand. At first I was confused, like, no way! These are my friends, you only just met them. All Michael needed was for me to step out briefly for him to plot that and make it happen. Everyone was giggling with their phones in hand. And for the first time, in a very long time, I was quite shy. But, I said YES. I said YES for many reasons. First, God wanted me to say yes, and I had been struggling with it and asking Him (God) if He was certain this was what he wanted. At the time, I was just not feeling anything. Love they say is not a feeling innit? I said YES because I saw in him a very sincere and down to earth man, a man very caring who would go lengths for me. How do you describe “pure love”…? Substitute it for the word MICHAEL! I said YES because he loves God and he has the child like FAITH that challenges me. I said YES because I found in him my prayer partner—not a prayer point. I said YES because I was happy, and believed with all the encounters I had, this was God’s will for me. Even though it wasn’t an easy ride at first, it has been an interesting and soothing journey! God has showed up at every stage. I am glad and grateful to God that He gave me the “gift of Michael” and I am excited to be doing life with Mr. Blake(like I fondly call him), and more importantly, My Jamaican Prince.

His Story I was praying to God for a wife. One Saturday I was on my phone and a website popped up showing a Christian dating site. I remembered my Pastor saying that you can't just sit in your house and the Lord will bring a wife to you. I filled out a profile. I started sending out messages to a few people while checking out other profiles. Then suddenly I saw her profile, for some reason I couldn’t just breeze past it. There was something about this profile and the person. I read it over and over and I liked what I read, so I decided to send a message. She messaged me then I asked for her number, and to my delight she gave it to me. I remember it was Sunday, because I was on my way to church and she was at work. When I got to church, I quickly rang the number as I was shocked she sent her number. To my uttermost surprise, she picked up and said “hello”… Out of shock and excitement I screamed into the phone ..”oh my God you gave me a real number” and I burst into laughter. That laughter was out of relief, and joy I could not explain. Her response of “what did you expect?”, made me laugh even the more. We started exchanging messages. Every morning, I would send a message and Bible verses. We talked alot and spent hours on the phone. What drew me to her was her personality, her calmness, beauty and deep love for God. She loves to sing and pray and always encouraged me. On the day that I proposed, we went on a break and everything in my body told me this was the time to do it. Even though I was nervous because it can go wrong, I still decided I should do it. I already had the ring with me, so I did. At first she seemed so confused. She did not know which hand to bring out for me to put the ring on. I literally dragged her hand and left her wondering and saying “that’s not the right finger”. All in confusion. My heart melted when she hugged me and then put her head on my shoulder. That was all I needed. For me, God started this and has lead us up till now. I am excitedly looking forward to the 5th of October to say “I Do” to the love of my life, and to my African Queen.
