In November I flew to London to visit my cousin who was having a concert with Erica Campbell from Mary Mary. She was busy with concert preparation, so she asked Joseph her best friend to pick me up from the airport. She asked us to follow each other on Instagram so we would know who to look for. Once I saw him I thought to myself he's going to be cocky because he had a lot of muscles, but little did I know he was a kind charming and respectful young man. As he proceeded to take me to my hotel two hours away we talked and laughed the entire way like we knew each other for years. I wasn't thinking about establishing a relationship with him because I was deepening my relationship with Christ. Plus he lived in London I lived in America and other reasons BUT GOD... When he took me back to the airport I was thinking we would never see each again, but he consistently pursued me. Our friendship grew. We started courting, fasting, praying and having devotion together. By February I was falling for him, but wasn't quite ready to say it to him. By March I knew he was the one God created for me. Joseph compliments me were I'm lacking. He's very talkative and outgoing unlike me. I always prayed for someone who's giving, loving, and God-fearing (like me) and I found that in him.

Sitting on the 2nd Floor of the Eiffel Tower restaurant in Paris ignoring Jospeh calling my name because our 3 course meal was in front of us (the food distracted me) literally appetizer, main course, and dessert of the table. He then called my full government name and asked me to spend the rest of my life with him. I'm looking forward to eternity. I wasn't expecting a ring because he booked a trip to Paris. In addition, he bought me a Canon EOS1300 camera that I always wanted for my birthday. I was dressed in a black body jumper with sneakers (not cute if you know me). I Thank God for giving me a leader, God-fearing, loving, hardworking, strong, stern, and grounded person to spend the rest of my life with. #NowItsThaddeaUS

I remember being next to my bestfriend Annastasia Baker as she teased me about her hot American cousin Lydia. As she messaged my soon to be wife Lydia (although at the time I clearly didn't know it ). The plan was for me to pick up her cousin Lydia from the airport as she was coming into town for a yoke-breaking (literally ) life changing concert by Annastasia Baker, and special guests Erica Campbell from the gospel group Mary Mary. I quickly asked for her Instagram, my excuse was I wanted to know who I was picking up (truth is I just wanted to see if she was fine or not). So after fully analyzing every picture of her on my way to the airport, I noticed my shirt was inside out. I waited until I picked her up to take my top off and put it the right way (hoping to seduce her with the guns lol) but she had her back to me while I changed my top in public and did not even peak.

For a little break from our busy lives I booked a table for two at the Eiffel Tower. After checking into our hotel we headed to the Eiffel Tower to eat or so she thought. As we stepped out of the Hotel the fellow angels started rejoicing as heaven opened and beautiful rain dizzied down (they clearly knew I was about to make a life changing decision to keep my heaven sent forever and ever). After being sent up and down in the rain we finally found the entrance up the tower into the restaurant. It was now the moment of truth. As we sat at the window table looking out from the second floor of the tower admiring the beautiful views I thought to myself how can I ask such a beautiful, caring, loving, goddess who is perfect in so many ways to marry a small boy like me? Like what does she even see in me? As the rain washed away the dirt outside it made everything clean and look brand new (just like the blood of Jesus gives us a new life as he washes our transgressions and faults away). So I prayed for strength as I walked to the toilet to calm the storm within me and I felt so at ease as it hit me I wanted to start a new life with my queen. So when I got back to the table I got the ring out and...
