AN INTERVIEW WITH THE
Bride & Groom
W H O S A I D ‘ I LOV E Y O U ’ F I R S T ? MiAiesha: Lawrence did! We had only been dating a few weeks, so he definitely caught me off guard, but he proved every word through his actions. He made sure I experienced his love in every way from that day forward. Lawrence: I did! Although most people would say it was little quick, I just knew that I loved her. I had no doubt in my mind that she would be the love of my life. D E S C R I B E Y O U R F I R S T D AT E : MiAiesha: We went to the National Mall in DC and walked around the monuments. After, we went to George Town and talked for hours and hours over milkshakes and french fries at Johnny Rockets. It was a simple yet cute date, and one of the best I had ever been on. We were literally inseparable after that! Lawrence: Technically our first date was a “pre-date”. We walked around the Eisenhower and MLK Monuments. Then we went to Johnny Rockets, and ate fries and milkshakes. Mid conversation she took a picture of me to send to her mom , since we met on a dating app. I thought that was a little weird, but I understood since I technically was a stranger. We literally talked for hours, until Johnny Rockets closed. It seemed like time did not exist. W H AT WA S Y O U R F I R S T I M P R E S S I O N ? MiAiesha: He was so genuine in his approach and a really nice guy. From day one, he really wooed me and swept me off my feet. He was different from anyone I had ever dated in all the right ways.. Lawrence: D***, she bad! I thought she was going to be a stuck up based off her pictures, but I was pleasantly surprised at how down to earth, goofy, country talkin’, and bubbly she was. W H AT I S Y O U R FAV O R I T E T H I N G A B O U T H I M / H E R ? MiAiesha: His personality and smile. He is the kind of person that people gravitate toward. He has a fun loving spirit, impeccable wit, great humor, with a beautiful mind and contagious smile to match. Lawrence: How loving and caring she is. She makes it known how much she loves you, and truly goes all out to show how much she cares. DESCRIBE HIM/HER IN 3 WORDS: MiAiesha: Loving, Funny, Dedicated. Lawrence: Compassionate, Supportive, Beautiful. W H AT A R E Y O U M O S T E XC I T E D A B O U T O N Y O U R W E D D I N G D AY ? MiAiesha: Everything! But most of all, finally becoming Mrs. White. Lawrence: To finally call her my wife, so I can say “I told you so!” WHO LEANED IN FIRST FOR THE FIRST KISS? MiAiesha: It was mutual, although Lawrence will say it was me! Lawrence: MiAiesha. She loves to say it was mutual, but we know what REALLY happened! LOL. W H E N D I D Y O U K N OW Y O U F O U N D T H E O N E ? MiAiesha: His effort, unconditional love and our friendship. No matter the circumstance, he is always willing to do everything in his power to make sure that I am happy. He loves me unconditionally and is always there to support me. We are best friends at the core of our relationship, which has created an indescribable connection and bond that can never be broken! Lawrence: I knew she was the ONE since day one. She made me feel like I could not live without her, and I still feel like that to this day. W H AT ’ S N E X T F O R Y O U T W O ? MiAiesha: We want to enjoy married life, travel, start our family, accomplish more endeavors together, and continue to get to the BAG!. All in all, yall will have to wait and see. Lawrence: Babies! Lawrence Joseph White IV, to be specific!
