THE WILSONS

“He’s African American and I’m Eritrean and Ethiopian that grew up in Sweden. It all started with a beautiful friendship which bloomed into pure love.

At first, we were in a long distance relationship for 3 years while I was in New York studying in college and he was located in Kansas. We were only able to see each other once every three months. However, with great communication and unconditional dedication, we made it! That goes to show that true love concurs everything! Today, we are happily married!” 💛 #Eritreans + #Ethiopian and #AfricanAmerican @mik_kid -

“Frankie and I met back in 2006 as freshman at Purdue University. Little did we know, the stars were already aligned to brighten our future together. We quickly became best friends, supporting one another through the rollercoaster of emotions that came with being college students. ______________ One year Frankie decided to ask me to be his Valentine and I hapilly accepted! We had a great time, as we always do in each other’s company, but this time everything seemed a bit different. Not making anything of it, we went on with our days. After we graduated, I moved back to Chicago and he to New York. __________________ One day I found myself complaining to Frankie that I was over the dating scene as I shared my experience of a date gone horribly wrong. As he laughed, he jokingly told me I need to give him a shot and I will never forget the silence after I said okay. From that moment forward, that feeling I felt at our Valentine’s Day date came back and has never left. Frankie is African American and I am Eritrean so of course, we knew our relationship would be a little different than the norm. __________________ I will never forget the conversation we had as we prepared for him to finally meet my parents two years into our relationship - yes, that right, two years. We were both so nervous and so scared (seriously lol) but his big heart and bright smile quickly won my parents over. Since that moment, Frankie has become a part of the family. On October 1, I married my best friend and soulmate and our union was celebrated with our family and friends. _________________ I am so thankful for how Frankie and his family have embraced the Eritrean culture and how accepting my parents are of him even though he is not Eritrean. With the blessings of both our families, our wedding day and Melsi were so magical!” 💛 #Eritrean + #AfricanAmerican @iamyordanos

“My parents were born and raised in Ethiopia but obviously had to flee. But they still identified with Ethiopia and raised me to believe we are one. But I’m actually Eritrean and my husband is Jamaican. ___________________ My parents are quite liberal when it comes to who I dated so I wasn’t too concerned with him not being Habesha. This is not to say that nobody had anything to say, I’ve had my fair share of arguments with people questioning why I couldn’t find a habesha (but this is not even worth entertaining) ____________________ Our differences in culture was never an issue until we started planning the wedding. This is ESPECIALLY true when it came to the guest list (that was by far the most difficult and emotional part of planning). I would speak more about it but I swore to never relive it. ____________________ I made sure to include his identity as much as possible, for example we had a spread of Jamaican food next to our zigni, his grandfather married us, and I played some lovers rock reggae during our cocktail and dinner hours. His family was also great at embracing the habesha ways, they wore our traditional clothing and were on the dance floor the whole night. _____________________ Our story is quite long, we met once through a mutual friend when we were about 16, but nothing came out of it. We had met again 3 years later through the same mutual friend. He told me later on that evening that he was going to marry me. He is my best friend and I’m so truly blessed to have him in my life” 💛 #Eritrean + #Jamaican @dianafromthe6

“He is the quintessential prince charming. Although we come from different places, love has no boundaries. We are both orphans and with each other, we have found our safe haven. We own our own business and it’s thriving. Be a Boss, Marry a Boss and Build an Empire” 💛 A Monday motivation for all of us 🙌🏾 #Ethiopian + #American @megshiferaw
