Our Wedding

Monica lives in Huntsville, AL and was single for over 11 years and during that time, she raised her son, was very active in church, and developed her own business. Those 11 years helped her to become a better woman and get a closer relationship with God while trying to accomplish goals. She even built her own house. And then COVID happened.Thank God it happened because this was the only time Monica would try online dating. She wasn't going to pay to flirt so she set up a profile on Facebook dating and kept it up for a couple of weeks. After a few horrible dates, she decided to take it down but her best friend convinced her to not give up. Before deleting her dating profile, she saw an intriguing message from Anthony and chose to reply. Monica told her best friend that she'll give this guy a chance, but if it doesn't work, "I'm done!"Anthony was living in Birmingham, AL and enjoys the art and culture of the city. Spending his weekends hanging out with friends, traveling, and building his career was great, but he wanted to spend time with someone special. Anthony was trying out online dating, but didn't click with anyone. The girls just weren't his match. Thankfully he came across Monica's profile and thought "Huntsville is not that far from Birmingham; I'll make the drive."After a month of talking on the phone, Monica and Anthony met in person and it felt like two long lost friends were finally meeting each other. With an instant connection and great conversation, Monica and Anthony knew they were meant for each other.After one date in May 2020, they have been inseparable and now their love will continue in a beautiful union. God prepared Monica for Anthony and Anthony was ready for her.
