#GoinesToBeAPetty

Tawanda and James first crossed paths in 1990, introduced through Tawanda’s best friend and his cousin, Juanita. For Tawanda, it was love at first sight—but with James being 15 years older, a relationship simply wasn’t in the cards at the time. Life had its own plans, and the years carried them in different directions. Fast forward 30 years, and fate stepped in. Reconnecting after three decades, what once felt like a distant moment quickly turned into something undeniable. On October 5, 2024, they went on their very first date—and from that moment on, everything just felt right. Since then, their love story has been filled with unforgettable memories—romantic dates, exciting vacations, and concerts that became the soundtrack to their journey. With each experience, their bond grew deeper, proving that what’s meant for you will always find its way back. Then came the moment that changed everything. On July 17, 2025, James asked Tawanda to spend forever with him. It was a beautiful, heartfelt moment—and an easy “yes” to a lifetime of love. Now, as they prepare to begin this next chapter, they are grateful for the journey that brought them back to each other. Their story is a testament to timing, destiny, and a love that was always meant to be. They can’t wait to celebrate with you. With love, Tawanda & James
