Love is a beautiful thing. I've known Terika a long time, since the first day of high school, first period, freshman biology. It's so awesome to have friends in your life for that long. Feisty, full of life and forever festooned with a smile, she is relentless in her pursuit of success. Her drive and passion are an inspiration. And she's one of my greatest cheerleaders.

I cannot tell you how happy it made me to see her and Steve celebrate their commitment to a lifelong partnership. Watching her friends and family bless them, pray for them and toast them was a special thing to witness. Even her son, got up to say something and made the whole room tear up, including this momma!

Congratulations, Terika and Steve! I wish you a wonderful lifetime of togetherness and partnership. May your love continually grow for one another. And may you be blessed with lots of available babysitters! xoxo
