Vincent Pryce
We originally met in 2003, my church was fellowshipping with hers, when I glanced over at her, her smile and laughter caught my attention. You look beautiful, I remember thinking to myself.
We went to dinner at this restaurant in Fairfield, I was very, very nervous, but as we sat down, here comes that smile and that laughter again, it put my mind at ease. We started to talk about everything, so in my mind I was like … this is my wife! I didn’t get a kiss on the first day.
When I sat next to Shavon, I remember us talking and making jokes, I think in that moment she touched my heart. After that I could not get her off my mind, and how she made me feel so comfortable just being in her presence, and man that figure I couldn’t forget about either.
Shavon Wright
We initially met in 2003, he was a member of my cousins church. We dated for a while, but decided to go our separate ways. We reconnected years later, again at church. Never did I imagine that would bring us to a point of planning to do life together.
Chile which one??? For our second first date, Vincent took me to SoJo Spa in New Jersey and what an experience that was. The massage, conversation in the heated pool, beside the pool, it was a great time to relax and reconnect.
Vincent is one of a kind, he loves with his entire being, he is thoughtful, considerate and gives of himself without expecting anything in return. His persistence and consistency is one of the reasons I love him so much. Vincent is a man’s man and is so deserving to be honored and loved purely and wholeheartedly.
Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails.
1 Corinthians 13: 4-8
