It started when they were just little kids, almost every weekend their parents would hang out and he’d always make his little flirty comments and would remind her mother how he’s going to get her daughter . As time went by they dated for one day but he still didn’t give up. Fast forward to September 11, 2014 is when they both decided to give it an official try and they’ve been together since. Through all the ups and downs they knew it was the real deal. They saw in each other things that made them both want to be better people, to love God more deeply, to have a more humble and compassionate spirit. So on December 25, 2019, James asked Tekia to be his wife . Here they are today , five years in and it keeps getting better and better .
