Our love story all began in 1989 at Memphis Catholic High school.

A message to my husband to be. From day one we connected on a level that cannot be explained, but very much appreciated. You displayed your interest in me in the 9th grade in your own way, however GOD knew best, and GOD'S timing is always right on time. As we grew over the years and matured into the responsible and loving adults we are today, little did we know that journey would come back full circle and it was preparing US for 12/25/23 when you asked me to be your wife, a day I will NEVER forget and always treasure. You’re my strength, my protector and my peace, you’re a man every woman would want by her side. I will forever be thankful to God for gifting me to you. I love you Jermaine Allen let's do this!!!!!!

A message to my wife to be, I would like to say that I have had a crush on this woman since 9th grade. I was too afraid to approach her back then, maybe I wasn't supposed to reach out to her back then. I sat back as life continued to happen for the both of us. We have always been good friends, and even checked on each other throughout the years, hell I even use to abuse her in the 9th grade. She never got mad just laughed it off as if it was nothing, that was my way of showing my feelings, lol. I thought man this is a tough little lady. I finally got my chance to pursue her. Since we started this journey, she has brought numerous new adventures and challenges to my life that I value and appreciate. We have our moments but have learned how to we work through them as a team. I must say I'm enjoying this time with her, and would not trade it for anything, as we continue to grow this positive life together. I love you Tamekia Collins (ALLEN)and we will continue to grow in love and understanding.
