African King and Queen

So Imperfect, but, Perfectly in Love

A summer trip to Providence Rhode Island is definitely a must do. The weather is just "right", the seafood is to die for and the ambience in historic architecture is a must see. We spent a few days in Providence and we fell victim to its rich aroma's of good and mixed cultural delicacies. From Italian, Caribbean, American, and Spanish delicacies. 



Cranston, RI, hosts T's restaurant, we must confess, one of the best breakfast/brunch we've had. The eggs, pancakes, fruit salad, waffles, honeyed lemon tea , hm! just right. The wait staff were amazing, and a 15 minute wait time flies by so fast you couldn't tell it had been that long. 

The night time wakes up to a variety  of great food and a well paced  night life. The energy at night is well paced, not too crowded, parking is reasonable. Lots of Hookah bars for those of you who are interested; and great sea food- just want to say that again. Shark Sushi is definitely a place to go. Oh yes, they do have sharks in there. We don't want to burst your bubble, you gotta check it out.

When we first began to get to know each other, the first few months was very interesting, we must repeat that very interesting. As we look back and reflect on some of the moments we shared and perceptions we had for each other, we joyously laugh both in shame of false expectations and in bliss of the successes we've made.

When we would go out on dates, our talks were like emptying out our wardrobe, and refilling it with new refined items. What made this time most memorable  was that we poured out our strengths and weaknesses without worry of being taken advantage of. We opened up, and opened up more to courtship and lifetime commitment.  There has always been a sense of peacefulness and trustworthiness that we have for ourselves.  Deep down within our young and fragile hearts, we knew that "this was it of us". We both had gotten tired of not having what we longed for.

Its funny how we were both on our best behavior the first 90 days. Yep, approximately 3 months of euphoria and clandestine angelic behaviors. We enjoyed every bit of it, and we must say, it was a crucial and relevant time in our courtship. Now as we reflect on those days, we have realized that we were both certain and comfortable to commit to each other at an early phase of our relationship.

There were no waiting for texts messages before we called each other, no selfishness- it was all, and has always been selflessness. Soon, we quickly snapped into reality to address our long terms goals. By doing so, we realized some fine-tuned similarities we shared, and that helped us to form a  more concrete, and solidified young love.

Our first conversation was detailed in topics such as religion, healthcare, further education, living the "good-life' staying healthy, and planning for the future for our parents. No where did we talk about us, it was like we were already together as we planned for our future. The smiles and euphoria were so genuine that they mimicked our childhood fantasies.

As days went by, we changed our cell phone data plans to accommodate data demands. We talked and texted all the time. Non-stop.  Furthermore, the eagerness to see each other would later curtail to mould what we are and who we are today- simply imperfect us.

Our parents were happily surprised, our siblings the same, most of all God smiled at his creation more and more as He showered us with blessings, grace, communication, occasional unplanned arguments with embraced resolution.

Getting engaged, we flew into a newness in happiness, joy and security. And as we elevate into what God has planned for us in a few days to come, we do so with humility, and grace. The life we live is not by our making, neither is it by our prayers alone; our parents knees have sunk deep within sand and concrete interceding for us through prayer and meditation on God's word- and that's what makes' us what we are today.

Our friendships have been abundant and blessed.  In the midst of all this, we remain engraved in humility and positivity to overcome all challenges, and set new milestones in all that we desire to be.

Thank you for your time,
Love Always,
Dennis and Lilian.

We had a great time at a friend's wedding today, the food, the music, the fashion were all amazing; the audience was spectacular, and most importantly, the bride and groom looked ravishing in their fine African prints.

We pray for God's guidance and blessings for them, as we anticipate our big day patiently  it's coming .........soon...very soon.....very very soon. Below are a few shots to give a glimpse of what fashion trends in African prints we're working on....please enjoy.  Pictures courtesy of iphone 5 .

Ah! How do we start? The feeling is still new, we are still glistening and glowing, we feel unique, vibrant, beautiful, heavenly, and most importantly serene and filled love, joy, euphoria and eternal happiness. For this dream, we will never awake from. Its getting quite difficult to blog about our wedding, so many great moment's so many thoughts, the vibrance, the family love, dedication to us and the friends who came to support are forever deeply rooted in our hearts.

Silence......Its almost 4 days after the wedding and all we talk about is "baby, let's do this again". Its very rare that we exalt "perfection"however, our area wedding was perfect from the beginning of the day till we arrived at hotel.

Lets talk about how we both got ready for the wedding the day before.
African King
We had rehearsal in the evening and it was a great turn out, the wedding planner and her team did an amazing job coordinating the wedding party. That's when it really hit me that in less than 24 hours the rest of my life would change. I was nervous at first, then I asked myself why. Then I realized it was a natural response to the hyper-excitable "nervous system".  Deep down, I was a happy man, I felt at peace, I felt accomplished, I felt humbled, blessed, and overly loved.

I took a deep breathe and journeyed down memory lane each time I saw my soon to be wife, thoughts of all the love we share, her never ending love and dedication to me and my family, I got emotional and prayed in silence thanking God for an answered prayer.

The kids at the rehersal we themselves and quickly  I was back in rehearsal mode. We had some difficulty with the music, but the dedication and patience of my brother-in-law solved the music issue soundly.  Lilian left with her bridal party, and followed with my brethren to Hat City Kitchen. I decided not to have a bachelor party for numerous reasons, one being, I wanted to really focus and enjoy the many blessings of my new milestone.  Another woman in sweaty underwear on my Polo Shirt and Versace pants would not make the night before heavenly. I decided to have a "sit-down" with the fellas. We talked about marriage, commitment, dedication, friendships, and our life experiences. We left hat city after quite a hefty bill, and proceeded to our place. This is the last time  I would see my Wife to be. I walked her to the car, helped with carry a few items. We hugged, and kissed, and hugged and kissed, and hugged tightly and kissed lightly, and said goodbye and see you soon.



Left home and checked into the hotel around 2am, slept till 630am, woke up with so much vim mixed with excitement and euphoria. I already it was a blessed day with showers of blessings in the morning. It rained so hard that morning, I knew God was excited about this day, just excited at we were and still are.  I left the hotel early to get breakfast for all the wedding party, came back drenched in rain- it kind'a felt good though.



My boo is eager to write about her experience, so we'll continue in the next post.

It was the best day of my life and as my husband said we want to do it again. P. S it feels great to say that word :-).  My dad and brother came from Ghana to witness their only daughter and sister get married.  The rehearsall went well except for the music but thanks to my brother, that issue was solved.  I left the church feeling confident that everything will run smoothly on my wonderful day. My girls and I left to pick up my dress and my ring.  That went well thank God.  Since everyone was hungry at this point, we met with the fellas at hat city and had a blast. We all went to our apartment, I packed a few things and headed to the hotel with my ladies.  This will be the last time seeing my baby before our wedding day.  It felt like I was going on a long trip. I didn't want to let go of him and vice versa.  We finally parted ways around 1:30 a.m.
My ladies and I headed to the hotel. I was so exhausted at this point we went to sleep around 3:30 a.m. I tossed and turned throughout the night. At 5:30am I decided to get up and write my love note to my husband to be. As I poored out my heart to him on paper, it started raining very hard outside. Showers of blessings! I said to myself, this is the day that The Lord has made let us rejoice and be glad in it.




Love Always,
DennisandLilian

Yes! Finally we got it. We have procrastinated for while, so finally we submitted our request to be officially and legally allowed to #love- sounds absurd, but, guess what? That's how the system works. This process came with its own hurdles. However, we diligently read the form and presented all the required documents, but upon arrival, this "wonderful" clerk ensured to drag us through the mud, but we prevailed.

Woosah!  Lets stay positive. 
We are official, and it feels great. Wow! Check out some historic pictures below.Once again thanks for following us through our challenging and beautiful times. In a few days, we tie the knot, and the feeling is heavenly. 

Stay Blessed, Stay Positive.

Engaged years ago, and we've prayed for this day to come. The journey has been memorable, there's been storms, drought, and all sorts of challenges, yet, we waited and waited for this day.

Being a master and well structured procrastinator, I wondered how this preparations would come along- however, I snapped into reality earlier in the process to help this angelic queen.

 As we wait for this beautiful day, we are full of joy and ecstatic.




Love Always

Moments like this lasts a lifetime. When he surprises me with great meal full of his love; I must add a healthy one as well. It just feels soooo good. After working for 12hours and contemplating on what to make for us for dinner, I get home and all I have to do is walk into his sweet aroma of love. Everything -just on point- I'm thankful to God for all the bountiful blessings, and the love we share.


LoveAlways!
Hmmm! Tastes So Good.....
