Couple #23 - A Shining Example of the Strength of Vows and Commitment

Latisha and Scott's love story has been a serious lesson in perseverance. After seven years of marriage, Latisha grew tired of being rejected by Scott's family as well as Scott's refusal to stand up for both her and their children. So, she left him, - just like that. However, it must have been the wake up call that Scott needed because, eleven months later, he came back around. Only, this time, he was there physically as well as spiritually and emotionally. The break-up was exactly what he needed to realize that he had been failing at the most important aspects of marriage, - he had not been a partner or a friend throughout all those early years together.
Latisha, on the other hand, was not sure if she wanted to reconcile, but she was always a person who believed in second chances. So, this couple of old started attending marriage counseling sessions and, little by little, Latisha's passion started making a come back. Love was reborn, anew.
Unfortunately, tragedy struck again. This time in the form of cervical cancer but Scott was there, every step of the way. He proved, once and for all, that he is Latisha's life long rock. These two have weathered the serious storms that all marriages can bring with them. Yet, they never had the pleasure of celebrating their big day with a special wedding ceremony. Now, Latisha thinks its time.
