Our Wedding

What are the odds that James and Amani would meet each other during a time when they both had given up on love? They say when you stop looking for it is when true love finds you and that’s exactly what happened in this love story.&nbsp;&nbsp;While on a press tour, James’s last stop was Columbia, SC where Amani was working as a radio personality and was scheduled to be the interviewer. As excited as she was to interview his group, little did she know she would be meeting her future husband that same day. They both call it “love at first sight.”&nbsp;James specifically remembers Amani walking through the door and being taken back by her beauty. “I was not expecting her to walk out looking like that. When you think “iHeart” you think country music and top 40, I just wasn’t expecting her to be the one that would interview us.” says James. Amani remembers being so nervous, fumbling on air during the interview because he continuously flirted with her. “While I was interviewing him he kept telling my listeners he was going to marry me and that, that day would be my last day on air.” says Amani.&nbsp;James knew exactly what he wanted and on that same day following the interview, he got down on one knee and pretended to propose.&nbsp;He of course left with her number and from that point on they were inseparable.Long distance couldn’t keep these love birds apart; they were always back and forth on the road until life pulled them together. Now they share a beautiful blended family and look forward to continuing the journey they started in 2017.&nbsp;
