Do you have any final words for our readers?

J: Never give up on Love and take the necessary steps to heal and evolve. True love exists and everyone deserves it you just have to believe you are a part of everyone.

M: ​As far back as i can remember, I have always been searching for the "ONE" true Love. I experienced challenges and disappointments over the years and I thought about giving up. I decided I had to change my attitude about Love and what it really was.  Love comes from within first and I was searching for Love outside of me.  So I went on an inward journey of self and truly learned to love myself #MyEmpress showed up because the Love I have for myself attracted us to each other.
LWR is happy and excited for the life Marques and Jenee' will live together. They had a beautiful ceremony and reception in Houston, and celebrated their blessing with a host of family and friends.  May God continue to bless their union!!
