So… some of you may know how Cherie and I met, and some may not. So, we wanted to share our story. It started back in 1987!! We were 14 and felt true love for the first time in our lives. True love at 14 you might ask… well it’s true. We were suddenly separated when Cherie had to relocate to north Florida. We were heart broken and had no way to communicate. Remember, 1987 .. no cell phones, no social media. Cherie lost her phone book in the move, and I didn’t have her new address or number. Life went on, but we never left each-other’s mind. We looked for each other when social media came about. My Space, Facebook, Instagram, just to name a few. However, we were unsuccessful. As time went on, we moved on and had families. We were both blessed with amazing children. We both, however, went through difficult times in our relationships and became divorced. We would both pray that God places that special someone in our lives so we could reciprocate our feelings and love to one another. Well, that prayer was answered on 8/16/20. I had found Cherie on Facebook! I wasn’t 100% sure if it was her or not, so I messaged her. It stated, "Hi! I’ve been looking for a girl with your name for a long time. We dated when we were 14 and lost contact. Could this be you? If not, I apologize." Well, she answered back, and it was as if we were never apart! The feelings and emotions were instantaneous. Fast forward to today … I guess we could say we weren’t two 14-year-old kids that didn’t know what true love was. Because here we are today, inviting our family and closest friends to join us for the most special occasion… Our Wedding!! We both hope you can join us in creating the next chapter of our lives!
