Natasha + Christopher: {Engaged}
Sometimes, the first time’s not the charm. You meet the person who you’ll eventually love and marry, but you don’t realize it. S/he’s just anybody else – until that person becomes more than just anybody: s/he becomes that one, the one. Natasha and Christopher didn’t recognize that they were “it” for each other until much later. When […]

Engagement Announcement: Two Love Birds
We both attended the same HBCU together (Bethune-Cookman University) and had a mutual friend who insisted we met. After speaking on the phone briefly we didn’t really take each other seriously. While Retesha sat in a classroom waiting for class to start Kene walked by and she called his name. This would be the first time they officially met. They hit it off instantly and fell in love.
Soritza + Robert: {Engaged}
It’s not everyday that you meet a man who goes for what he wants without pause or hesitation. He may not always get what he wants, but he at least tries to pursue it. In Robert’s case, he asked for what he wanted, but didn’t get exactly that – at first. Eventually, he would get […]
Engagement Announcement: Abundantly Blessed!!!
Our story is unique, yet it has a dream-filled ending!! Derek lives in Brooklyn, NY and I live in San Diego, Ca. We met online at Blackpeoplemeet.com in January of 2009 on a dating website, and after meeting, we remained friends for a year by talking on the phone and taking advantage of the web cam. Around January of 2010 that friendship grew into something more. On March 14th, 2010 Derek asked if I would be his girlfriend, I said yes!! We then decided to take that next step to meeting each other and on May 28th of 2010 Derek flew me to New York for 5 days (this was one of the “craziest” things i had ever did, and I am so glad I listened with my heart) and from that moment on our relationship just kept growing. Thank You God!!!
DISTANCE MEANS SO LITTLE WHEN SOMEONE MEANS SO MUCH!!

Latrice + Steven: {Engaged}
Doesn’t it just stink when you have a crush on someone and s/he doesn’t even know who you are? It’s not the best feeling in the world, is it? Well, this love story started somewhat like this, until the tables were turned and the “crusher” became the “crushee” and then eventually, they just became … […]
