It all began in 2017 when Dominique was led to visit Second Canaan Church, and honestly the beginning was not your typical fairytale love story. If you know Tamar, she is a feisty little something and would give him a hard time every Sunday with her shadiness. But this all changed in 2019, on the first Sunday of that year. He was leading a song in church and it was as if the scales were removed from her eyes, she saw him in a way that she never had before. A few weeks later they were hanging out at a Super Bowl party, she was being her usual feisty self and giving him a hard time. When they left the party he jokingly text her and the message said “you’re my favorite lol”……..(Got eeeeeemmmmm!) From that day forward they began texting each other everyday. Except for one time in which she jokingly marched right up to him after church with that usual feisty tone. She said “umm excuse me, so you just decided to not text me back?” Then he replied with something she would never forget by saying “from now on I’ll be consistent, I promise”. And boy was he telling the truth, they have been consistent and inseparable since that day with their routine Tuesday date nights and nightly talks before bed. On April 27th, 2019 he asked her to be his girlfriend and they dated for over 3 1/2 years before he asked her to marry him on January 15, 2023. Their love is no fairytale story as they ventured through a pandemic…many trials…and tough losses. But it’s their story of selfless love, healing, and redemption. A journey meant just for them! And they’ll forever claim to each other “you’re my favorite”.
