It was a Saturday afternoon when everything began. I went to visit my niece Myrlande, not knowing that day would change my life forever. As I walked into the house and made my way toward the garage and living room, I saw him (Jean-Gary) sitting there. He was my niece’s friend, quietly eating, but something about him immediately caught my attention.

I said hello… and in that simple moment, something special happened.

Yes, I made the first move. It was his smile, his kindness, the gentle way he looked at me—it made my heart melt. We started talking, and from that very moment, I felt something deep inside. I thought to myself, this could be the man for me.

So I invited Gene Gary over for dinner. We talked, laughed, and truly enjoyed each other’s company. And as the conversation flowed so naturally, I knew—he was the one.

From Jean-Gary’s heart:

The moment I saw Evelyn walk into my friend’s house, I was captivated. Her beautiful brown eyes, her radiant smile—it touched my heart instantly. In that moment, I knew she was special… I knew she would be my wife.

I accepted her invitation, and from there, we began building something real. After a few weeks, I invited her to the park. We sat, talked, and shared our hearts. It was peaceful, honest, and full of joy. And in that moment, we both knew—this was right.

From that day forward, we made a decision: to hold on to what God had brought together. As it is written, “What God has joined together, let no man separate.”

And so, our journey began—not just in love, but in faith, unity, and purpose.

**********Se te yon samdi aprèmidi kote tout bagay te kòmanse. Mwen te ale lakay nyès mwen, san m pa t konnen jou sa a t ap chanje lavi mwen pou tout tan. Pandan m ap antre nan kay la niece mwen Myrlande , m pase bò garaj la pou m ale nan salon an, epi se la mwen wè li—Jean-Gary—chita. Li te zanmi nyès mwen, li t ap manje, men gen yon bagay espesyal ki te atire m sou li touswit.

Mwen di li bonjou… e nan ti moman senp sa a, yon bagay espesyal te pase.

Wi, se mwen ki te fè premye pa a. Se te souri li, jantiyès li, fason dous li te gade m—li fè kè m fonn. Nou kòmanse pale, e depi nan moman sa a, mwen santi yon bagay fon nan kè mwen. Mwen di nan tèt mwen, men mesye sa a ka moun pou mwen.

Se konsa mwen envite Jean-Gary lakay mwen pou dine. Nou pale, nou ri, nou pase bon moman ansanm. E pandan konvèsasyon an t ap koule fasil, mwen te deja konnen—li se moun pa mwen.

---Soti nan kè Jean- Gary:

Depi lè mwen wè Evelyn t'ap antre lakay zanmi mwen Myrlande, mwen te sezi. Bèl je mawon li, bèl souri li—li touche kè mwen touswit. Nan moman sa a, mwen te konnen li espesyal… mwen te konnen li ap vin madanm mwen.

Mwen te aksepte envitasyon li, e depi lè sa a nou kòmanse bati yon bagay serye. Apre kèk semèn, mwen envite li nan pak la. Nou te chita, nou pale, nou pataje kè nou. Se te yon moman kalm, onèt, ak plen lajwa. E nan moman sa a, nou toulede te konnen—se bon chwa a.

Depi jou sa a, nou pran yon desizyon: kenbe sa Bondye mete ansanm. Jan Pawòl Bondye di a, “Sa Bondye mete ansanm, pesonn pa dwe separe li.”

E se konsa vwayaj nou te kòmanse—pa sèlman nan lanmou, men nan lafwa, inite, ak objektif
