How we met!
Tomi and Rico’s love story unf olds on a Sunday morning in church in 2009, during thi s time they were too young and afraid to speak. The off icial ice breaker was in the beginning of 2012 after a night service when Rico displayed his comical characteristics to Tomi. Jokes, turned into laughs, laughs turned into friendships, friendship turned into love, and the loved blossomed. That blossomed lov ed turned these two into high school sw eethearts. As the two entered into adulth ood they encountered the hardships tha t come with life but they still rem ained friends. In February of 2017, they reunited and realized tha t life would not be complete without each other. Three years later the y are here on the road to I DO.
