How We Met

11/2018

Tamaria: We met on Christian Connect. I came across Tawone's profile and saw that he was a single parent. My thinking was we could be encouragment to one another and become good friends. A couple of months went by and I learned about Tawone. He opened my eyes and changed my perception about blindness. I began to develop feelings for this man and over time we became good friends. This man is not only my best friend but an encouragement and a blessing. I've fallen in love with Tawone and look forward to whatever God has in store for the both of us and our family. Tawone: The Word of God states in Proverbs 18:22, " He who finds a wife, finds a good thing." In my quest for the search of that good thing, that good woman for me, I found that I was unsuccessful in finding that good thing for me. I began to get discouraged and looked up to heaven. "God will I ever find love again?" I thought is was impossible. I recently disconnected myself from the Christian Connect website, however, I saw a message from Tamaria. I became intrigued and wanted to know about this young lady. Our first conversation was on November 23rd at 9pm. The conversation was wonderful and I had to talk to her again. We talked and communicated on Facebook messenger everyday. I found that this woman was saved and had a love for God. She was an excellent mother with inner qualities that sparked my attention. "Oh! My! This is an intelligent, wonderful, and special lady that had to be mine. Needless to say, I fell in love with this woman and everyday that I know her, my love grows stronger by the day.

The Proposal

Tamaria: "Tawone told me to get dressed and be ready by 7pm on Friday, January 4, 2019. I got dressed and cute not knowing what would take place. I went to Tawone's kitchen at his house where some of his family were eating. He knows that I like family gatherings. After eating, Tawone got his online church family on the phone, placed a chair in the center of the living room, and asked me to sit in the chair. He looked very handsome in his white dress shirt, blue jean pants, and shiny black shoes. By the way, his cologne was on point. Tawone complimented and expressed his love for me. He then got out the ring, on his knees and asked me to marry him. I said YES!!!
