How We Met

According to Lance...

Essence and I met at church. At the time, I didn't even know her name, I just remember a pretty girl sitting next to me. She was checking me out, side eyeing me with them pretty brown eyes, flirting with me in church. Ain't that something, flirting in church. I asked my mama what her name was and from there I slid right into her Facebook DM (direct messaging). I waited a week, I didn't want her to think I was easy. We went on our first date, she fell in love and now.... #FromThePewToTheAlter #FromDMToIDo

How We Met

According to Essence...

A true romance orchestrated by The King indeed, because Lord knows I was not paying Lance any attention. Side eyeing him is what Lance says, however, he's conveniently forgetting it was a First Sunday and he wasn't paying attention to the Usher. Yes, I was giving him the side eye, but it was because I was thinking, "What are you doing? You're supposed to be in line for Communion, not still sitting there, cast in a spell, watching me", but fine... let's go with his story, lol. Our first date was on a Friday. It was “Good Friday” to be exact. Honestly, I was going for the food 😊. Lance was shy, so I ate from my plate and his. He didn’t seem to mind and that’s when I fell in love. Lance was everything I didn't expect. A nice, kind, refreshing tall drink of perfectly tempered water on the rocks. We discovered we had a ridiculous number of things in common, including reading. We’ve even formed our own exclusive book club of two, (#4GeminisIn2) and now… 5 years later to the exact first date we’ll be Husband and Wife FOREVER! #LoveAtFirstLance #Lessence #FromFirstDateToWeddingDate #04.03.15To04.03.20&4Ever
