On October 29, 2017, we met. I saw James and immediately looked through the window with both of my hands high speaking to God and said, "Father, this man is my husband." James exact words were, "All I need is for someone to love me." I knew, I, Deborah have the love but need someone who really deserves my love. On November 3, 2017, we exchanged phone numbers. I called James after 10 hours of receiving his phone number and we spoke for about 30 minutes. I fell in love with him during our conversations about ourselves, our families, and our life experiences. James is a family man. The way James spoke about his family I immediately felt the love he has for his mother and his children. We finally had our first date on December 1, 2017. Since then it has been a great and wonderful experience with James and myself. We have done so much together: from attending African parties, visiting vineyards for wine tastings, museums, trail hiking, concerts, comedy shows, romantic dinners, and walks on the beach. James asked me to marry him on February 2, 2019. Our traditional African wedding is set for August 9, 2019. Thanks to all who supported our LOVE journey.
