Love rarely strikes twice, but in this case...

Cynthia went to Jamaica for school when she was 15 years old. While she was there, she met Owen, and they started getting to know each other. They had similar interests, they laughed at the same things and they both had dreams that were bigger than their own realities at the time. They were in love.

Cynthia, however, completed her schooling in Jamaica, and returned home to the Turks & Caicos Islands. She eventually moved to the United States where she met her future husband, Alex. They married in 1972 and had a baby girl in 1974. They grew together and experienced all that life had to offer, filled with love, compassion, sacrifice and happiness, until Alex passed away in 2011.

Likewise, Owen had moved on with his life. He went on to complete his studies and worked in the field of science in Jamaica. He eventually met his future wife, Fredericka, and they married in 1971. They, too, were blessed with children - a sweet baby boy in 1972 and a beautiful little girl in 1975, and their precious family grew through all the fulfillment and surprises life could bring.

Having lived lives separate and apart for so many years, God decided it was time for Cynthia and Owen to find love again and, a few years ago, Cynthia happened to stumble across Owen's YouTube channel that he used to share music he had written and produced. Drawn to the music, Cynthia listened and listened, until she realized that the person whose sweet voice was calling to her was Owen's. Surprised, shocked and excited, she reached out to him and...well...love struck twice.

This is a fairytale story of a union and a companionship that was destined. Cynthia and Owen are so grateful to have found each other again, and elated to share their story with you! From the bottom of their hearts, thank you for your love and support on their journey!
