Why I Said I Do?

BlackLove.com is bringing back our favorite series featuring couples’ first-person stories of why they said “I do.” Marriage is not about the wedding day, but the life you share together, so we want to know why you decided to walk down the aisle and take that step toward forever.

How did you know this was your person? What made commit to life alongside them? How did love begin for you? Whether you’re newlyweds or have been married 50+ years, we want to know why you said “I Do.”
