Both Victor and Florence grew up on the west side of Akron within a mile radius and missed each other at every turn. In between peewee football and cheering for the same team you would think they would have noticed one another at least once. Even Florence's first job was at the local grocery store where Victors family frequented often. Not to mention that some of Florence's co-workers were friends of Victors. But we like to say that all of these opportunities were missed so that we could meet at the right time for the both of us. It took an outside force to make it happen and we couldn't be more grateful. Before we even we knew it, things were going into place for us to meet, it was old friend of Victors from Early college and a newly found friend of Florence's while in college who was the catalyst for the two to finally come together. That good friend is Shamari Fields. Shamari and Florence were at a point where they hung out often and her friend asked for her to tag along for another friends gathering which is where she met Victor and Max. If it had not been for Shamari's outgoing personality and eagerness to spread joy and wealth, the two would not be here today to celebrate their union together. That evening, Florence renamed Max 'Champion" and a couple months later, asked Victor out for sushi and the two lived happily ever after.... What have we learned from all this you may ask? Timing is Everything and good things come to those who wait. Oh and that Sakuras has the best sushi.
