TYLIBAH: Gareth and I met over a decade ago. On our first date, he picked me up on his motorcycle in Brooklyn. While I had never been on a motorcycle before and was every bit nervous, there was something about Gareths calming spirit and protectiveness that led me to believe that not only would this be a safe ride but also a fun one, with every twist and turn on the bike he informed me and was extremely kind and sensitive to my needs. Unfortunately, that was one of the last times that we would see each other, life took us on different paths which included me moving to another state 800 miles away. So imagine how surprised I was when we reconnected out of the blue nearly 12 years later. Since the day we reconnected, we have been inseparable, Gareth is my best friend, my laughing partner, my travel buddy, my shoulder to lean on, and the one I can always count on. I am so excited for our future. I couldve never written this love story quite like this, I am grateful for the wait because it was beyond worth it

GARETH: More than 10 years ago I never knew that the woman that I would deeply be in love with was in front of me. I was young and couldnt grasp the concept. Life made its choices, and we werent together. Years later with the grace of God put us in each others way that cant be explained besides shes the one. We met for the 1st time in years in the Poconos where she now lives for our 2nd 1st date at a winery. I was anxious and nervous, and she was sooooo late that I thought I was being stood up. The server asked if I was waiting for someone and I briefly told him why I was there and said I think thats her right there. As she walked in looking like a vision I was beyond glad I waited. I didnt want to leave her....our 1st kiss after years felt like this is the woman, Ill forever kiss no matter the good or the bad. She introduced me into her heart and soul, son and family which I never felt. She is my all.
