How did you meet?  Chimeria- Although we were raised in the same neighborhood, we officially met and became friends at our current job. We are both educators in a school system in our hometown of Selma, Alabama. Patrick-I’m not sure how we meet; however, I knew many of her family members. When she started working at the high school, I was impressed with her work ethic and of course the attractive way that she carried herself. 

How did you know you’d met the one? Chimeria - I knew that I had met the one because Patrick had such a kind spirit; furthermore, I could tell him anything and laugh with him about anything from the beginning. I was always able to be myself. Moreover, he never gave up until he got my attention, so I knew there had to be something more to the story. Patrick -I prayed to receive her and she hung in there with me despite some of my faults.

What was the most memorable thing about your wedding day? Chimeria - My fondest memory about my wedding day is that I was happy. As I walked down the aisle I had no doubts in my mind or heart.

What is the key to the success in your relationship? Chimeria and Patrick - The key to success in our relationship is first relying on our faith and striving to be better individuals in God’s eyes. Secondly, being a friend, this includes having a listening ear, supporting one another, and being open to many things. Lastly, having fun and enjoying one another!

 
What is it that you love most about each other? Chimeria - I love that Patrick is romantic and thoughtful. He enjoys living life to its fullest and he doesn’t mind doing what he can to help others. Patrick -I love her strength as a woman. She doesn’t take any less than what she deserves and she is driven for success. She is ambitious. She sets goals and achieves them. I also love her sexy legs.

What role does God play in your daily lives?  Chimeria and Patrick - We realize that in order for our relationship to be successful we must keep Him as the head of our lives and our relationship. Although we are far from perfect, we work constantly to build our relationship to His liking. In our own personal walks with him, we are ever considerate of His word. Together we are growing in faith.

Share one of your fondest memories in your relationship so far. Chimeria - My fondest memories are the times that we have shared traveling together so far. I look forward to many more to come.

Do you believe God is still in the marriage business?  Chimeria and Patrick - Yes we do and we believe that he lead us to one another for fulfillment in our lives.

What do you look forward to as a couple?  Chimeria and Patrick - As a couple, we look forward to many years of marital bliss, starting a family, remaining ambitious, and growing stronger in faith together.

 
What is beautiful about your spouse:  Chimeria - What is beautiful about my spouse is that he is God-fearing, hardworking, a wonderful father, remains healthy, and strives to keep me happy.

If the spirit leads, please share a testimony you may believe will bless other women, men or couples.   Keep your faith and believe that God has someone special for you. Don’t go looking, just be patient and wait on Him. Most of all, when He sends your blessing, be open to receive it.

Thank you Chimeria and Patrick!
