The very first time Antwyne and I saw each other was in 1989. I had just graduated from high school working my first job at Piggly Wiggly grocery store. He had come to the store with a friend to see his girlfriend. I worked as a cashier. As I was ringing up groceries Antwyne stood there watching me while he waited on his friend. I could see him out of my peripheral vision. He picked up a snickerbar and started to walk toward my register to purchase it. The closer he got to the register the more scared he was. He expressed it as “getting weak in the knees” so he put the candy bar down and walked out.
He told his friend that he had just seen the most beautiful woman in the world, and how he regreted not saying anything to me. He told his friend that he probably would never see me again, and if he did he was going to “throw the whole kitchen sink at me.” (A figure of speech meaning that I wouldn’t get away the next time) We met once more September 2006 at another store. We both said at the same time “hey you look familiar” we began to talk about where we may have seen each other, and believe it or not he started talking about the incident at Piggly Wiggly and we both started laughing as we are still today.
Well to make a long story short, he said, “let me give you my cell number”. Then he wanted to vent about what he was going through at the time, and I said, “Well I’ll probably see you around. But, I could empathize with him because I was going through a similar situation too. The next year 2007 we became best friends. “Real close friends”, and we knew very soon we were going to become as ONE!
Finally 20 years later, September 26, 2009 in Palm Coast Florida on the Sundancer Yacht, we had been redeemed, we were rescued. I became Mrs. John Antywne Harris. My baby made my dreams come true. I had the most beautiful wedding a bride could have. Click here to see our Wedding Photographs
I can truly say, “Thank you Jesus” this is my soul mate. Visual Statements Photography and Video created special memories for us that will last a lifetime of happiness. We are still looking at the pictures laughing and talking about the good times we had. They are Awesome!!
