The Confession That Started it All “He’s kinda cute!” Those three words, which should’ve been a secret, started something big and even led to a Charlotte engagement. They were out with friends, hanging out, and having a good time. Neither of them was looking for a relationship, but, when something is just right, what else […]

Mama Knows Best A love story can start at any time. The beginning of this particular love story started as a typical spring day. Michelle got ready and went to work at the office where she’s a nurse.
