It all began in 1997! Angel's family moved to the neighborhood where Chris & his family lived. The same block to be exact! It was love at first sight, for Chris. No, There wasn't any grand intro like the movie Love & Basketball. They would play in the alley behind their homes, and from there an all-time friendship was born. Chris would do all the typical things a young boy would do attempting to gain the attention of a girl. He would never pick her on his team, always look for only her while playing hide and seek, and tag her extra hard in the game of Tag. These antics were very unsuccessful and backfired. Let's just say if life was a game of Tag, Chris wasn't "It" for Angel. As the years went by Chris would attempt much more direct approaches, such as outright professing his love for Angel. No, Chris never played love songs on a boombox outside of Angels bedroom window. Every encounter would involve endless compliments and name calling, the most popular being "Boo". This would render the closest possible outcome Chris hoped for. Angel always found it cute and smiled, with a smile bright enough to make a kid think the streetlights came on. This was a method that was impossible to sustain, as life began to take its natural course. It wasn't long before Angel was off to college. Chris went away to college some years later. Keeping in touch on their birthdays and in-passing whenever at their parents homes, Angel and Chris would talk as if no time had passed at all. Every conversation being equally baffling & eerie. The two had never realized exactly how much they have in common, other than each having a beautiful daughter. The future love birds share a connection of southern roots tied to South Boston, Va and Yanceyville, NC, an insatiable appetite for oldies music that predates them, comedy, traveling, great food, sports, and the most important of all now their beautiful family of 3 daughters and 1 son. Now, inseparable both eagerly waiting to marry their bestfriend.
