Taking a leap, we both took a chance on a stranger... Just days before the great tragedy, we began conversing. Little did we know it was the beginning of something great. Now y'all know I HATE inconsistent men, so when Toro's communication was lacking, I kept it moving. But he kept reaching out (hey big head, lol ). Finally, I asked him about his lack of responsiveness to which he responded appropriately and stepped his game WAY up. So on the first day we both had off, he called me, (Yes, with an actual telephone receiver to his mouth, forming words...weird huh?!) and we talked for about an hour. Later that day, we talked again, then the next day was the same, and everyday after. Our first date, we went to an Italian restaurant in Memphis, then met up with some his co-workers at a retirement party. Our second date, the next week, I met his mother; two days later, he met my father....and the rest is the dream we are now living. We thank God for bringing us together at the right time and answering our prayers. Thanks for sharing in our happiness... We look forward to seeing you at our celebration! Take a look around our website, you will find information on travel, lodging and even find gifts on our registry. Please confirm attendance by responding under the RSVP tab on this website by January 31, 2019.

Thomas was crushing on Charity, and she wanted nothing to do with him. Thomas played football for the University as a linebacker and excelled in his studies. He kept pursuing Charity and she eventually started liking him too, and A LOT! They hung out together as mutual friends in group settings throughout college which led to the development of their relationship. Thomas and Charity have a unique love story...they both were supposed to go to different universities. Charity planned on attending Winston Salem State University and Thomas was headed to play football at Morgan State University. However, God had a plan for each of them that they knew nothing of. Thomas knew he loved Charity when he brought her McDonald’s breakfast to her campus job one morning after football practice; he had never done such an act before for anyone. Their first official date was at Sweet Frog in Fayetteville. The two dated on and off for several years but eventually found that there was no other place to be than with each other. “We appreciate the prayers of my mom and my mother-in-love to be, they were able see what we couldn’t see” -The Future Perrys. Mrs. Perry bugged Thomas about Charity and Ms. Frances bugged Charity about Thomas! Thomas asked Charity to be his wife on January 28, 2024!
