Aqil & Erica's Journey

Erica and Aqil's friendship dates back to their teen years. Laughter has always been shared between the two but who knew they'd someday come full circle to share a life of love and laughter. In their earlier days, Aqil always assumed the role of a protector over Erica, not allowing any harm to come her way. A quality Erica still admires in Aqil to this day.

Looking back, Aqil remembers that it was always Erica's smile for him. An infectious smile that still warms his heart daily. Erica, on the other hand, remembers that it was Aqil's loyalty, presence, and strong sense of self that she admired. Then and now, she viewed Aqil as a man with vision and always on a mission to capture his dreams.

A number of years past when the two were not in contact. As chance would have it, the two happened upon one another at a party of a mutual friend. The conversation that ensued in getting reacquainted sparked the beginning of their current journey of forever.

A vow to commit to one another began the day their two heart & souls pledged to rock with one another. He being her rock and she his. They've been inseparable every since.
