We initially met at a Friend's gathering 4 years ago. We immediately noticed each other among everyone present that night, however our story did not begin immediately. A few weeks after first meeting, we ran into each other at Wal-Mart, of all places, and exchanged numbers that day. After a few days of texting and getting to know a little bit about each other, we were having our first date at Red Rock Canyon (now our favorite steakhouse in Wichita, we decided to make it our spot for dinner every year on our anniversary), and quickly realized how much we enjoyed talking to each other. Unfortunately, we were both at a point in our lives, where we lacked trust and were not ready to engage in a serious relationship unless everything felt exactly right, and this hesitation led to us talking on and off for a good year and a half, before finally deciding to date. We quickly realized early in our relationship how compatible we were, and how much peace, care and love we brought into each other's lives. We then met each other's Families and were each liked by our loved ones, which was extremely important to us, as we are both very family oriented. In addition, Fabrice was having a blast being a Dad to Jayden, and Tiara was enjoying being able to raise a son with someone she could trust and count on. Two and a half years into our relationship, it was clearer than ever that we were meant to be. God began to work through us and mold us into the husband and wife He had destined us to be and we know that this love is truly His gift to us both. The love that we have experienced could not be earned and we are truly grateful. On September 25, 2020, Fabrice asked Tiara to spend the rest of her life with him and she said YES!! We were ready to take the next step, but in the middle of the Covid pandemic, we knew that it wouldn’t be safe to ask everyone to gather together so we originally got married on 11/07/20 before God. Now that times are much safer for everyone, we are inviting you all to join us as we proclaim our love before Family and Friends, and renew our vows.
