Valentine’s Day & Wedding Day
Today February 14, 2004, it’s my pleasure Valentine’s Day but a different day it was an amazingly wondrous day, and fear to be married and wanting to be together intended to be given to us. Yeah, soon my beautiful sexy pregnant wife, and loved her and our family. When to St. Louis American newspaper for a photographer Bill Beene at Chase Park Plaza Barbershop, I was a barber and soon bent down to ask her, my girlfriend to be my wife for our wedding day. So I check on her and asked her please check out St. Louis American newspaper usually comes newspaper each week on Thursday. My girlfriend saw to page and said, “Yes.” she beamed.
Ask my friend and my pastor, Dr. Don McNeal of Hopewell Missionary Baptist Church on Taylor Avenue and Euclid Avenue for our marriage on Saturday, February 14, 2004, and he said, ”Yes.” Ask my dad, Arglister L. Palmer III would you be able to stand with me for my soon to be my wife, Connie Weaver at Hopewell Missionary Baptist Church with Pastor Dr. Don McNeal for our marriage on Saturday, February 14, 2004, my dad said, “Yes.” Then say my father-in-law, Mr. Cornelius Weaver, asked him, to walk with his daughter, Connie on Saturday, February 14, 2004, and my father-in-law said, “Yes.” Told my family we were getting married at Hopewell Missionary Baptist Church by Pastor Dr. Don McNeal said, “Yes.”
We’ll be here for us. ”Told my friend, Rob Sills needed to get a wedding ring. He told me to go to International Diamond in Clayton, MO for Sean he owns it. So Rob and I went to International Diamond for Sean and showed me different types of diamonds like emerald, sapphire, Princess, pear, or cluster. I saw the cluster, it was shaped like a square but rounded the edge and it was beautiful and told Sean, “Yes she’ll love it.” Told my friend, and Rob said, “I want it but I have to pay each week to pay it, but just. want her to know I love her!” Rob said, telling Sean to give it to you and you can pay him money how did you figure that out for Sean? Man, I stood up and grabbed my friend and love all of the people that have helped me through want in my life, and tore. So many have helped me through this and yes paid Sean for money each week and I paid for it for my wife, a cluster diamond white gold wedding ring.
Early on Saturday, February 14, 2004, went to a tuxedo on Delmar and already know what suit I wanted with a black tuxedo jacket and a velvet tie with a cuff link wearing my white tuxedo shirt, and I felt great. I got home and put on everything with beautiful cologne and my underwear for my beautiful girl to be my soon wife. I had this red string rope tied to my cluster wedding ring and had it inside my pocket to pull it later. Went to church always thinking, “Man I need to get through this.”
Walked inside the church, and Pastor Dr. Don McNeal and my dad, my friend and my pastor too! We talked about what I wanted to tell my soon-to-be wife, I have something I want most of my come, and I am up for my friend, lover, and family. I stood out of it next to my dad in the church and saw my father-in-law bringing her to the chapel she was astonished by her baby inside of her and saw my son, Ryan 1-year-old hanging on to my mother-in-law, family, and friends. It was beautiful all around us. We spoke to each other and I pull the red hanging of my beautiful cluster of white gold wedding rings and she say it and bent down to cry. I told her I want to be a part of her life, and she applied.
Always still love her through everything with Valentine’s Day and our Wedding Day. ♾️👰🏾♀️🤵🏾♂️💍💒💗💞
