Story
Chantelle and Alex story began in August 2013 on a Saturday. I was out doing a little weekend shopping enjoying the day . As I was walking out of the store, I seen this gentlemen walking towards me and when he got closer he made a comment. At that moment, I responded with a smile which lead to a conversation and then we shared our names and went on about our day. Later, that day as I reflected back on our conversation and the connection that came along with it. I said, to myself how didn't we exchange numbers. At that moment I was certain I would never hear from or see him again. Then out of the blue, I received a message on Facebook from him. Moving forward we became best friends and shortly after our love story began.
Seven years later on "CHRISTMAS DAY" he ask me to be his wife and "I SAID YES".
Even through our "TRIALS AND TRIBULATIONS" we are still madly in Love With Each Other. Now we are "Headed To The Alter" to say I DO's!
