Claudette and Anthony first crossed paths more than ten years ago at Oberlin College in Ohio. It was the most unlikeliest of places for the daughter of a California queen and a tiger to meet a royal blooded Ashanti, dragon born man. Claudette first saw Anthony in the mailroom and at though at the time he had another lover, she knew there was something special in him. More than three years later in the fall of 2012, at one of Anthony’s social gathering, they had their first moments alone. Intrigued, Claudette finally had Anthony’s full attention.

After all, how could he have resisted such a profoundly stellar spiritual and intellectual debutante. For he had waited all his life to find a woman to equal his desire of a woman. Though she was young, Claudette found she had a love for Anthony that rang out with destiny.

Theirs is a international, blerdtastic, and enduring love story. One that is uniquely marked by Anthony’s perseverance and steadfast faith as well as Claudette’s grace and unrelenting evolution. A journey encompassing births, deaths, and lessons that allowed them to know each other to a soul-deep level. In their time together the erudite pair have accumulated seven academic degrees between them with more on the way.

Where distance, difference and diversion would have seen them part ways; true kismet, devotion and the power of the anime, comic books and fantasy drew them together.

With their wedding and marriage, Anthony and Claudette seek to hold God first and foremost so that they may be fruitful and enjoy His blessings for many years to come.
