The couple met when they both served as judges for a Greek step show. Tiffany is a member of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority and Anthony is a member of Kappa Alpha Psi. He admits to being “overwhelmed by the view” when Tiffany walked away from him. Tiffany loved his smile and noticed that he was her “total package” – tall, dark, and handsome. As they talked, they realized they shared a mutual friend. They dated for less than a year. As the first black female to serve as Clerk of Courts in the state of Florida, and a lawyer, Tiffany likes to be in control of her surroundings. So, she didn’t understand Anthony’s urgency toward taking her to the beach. She later understood when they returned from the beach (where he proposed) and found that he had prearranged for their families and friends to celebrate with them. The couple has been married for 15 years and have two children. Tiffany’s advice for other married women: recognize your Black Girl Magic, be quiet, be still, listen to him, and don’t wage war unless it’s absolutely necessary. Anthony’s advice to Black men who are considering marriage – Be prepared to take care of your family! The couple has not sought the advice of family or friends to keep them together; they have simply relied on God. When asked what one word they would use to describe what makes their spouse magical? Tiffany said DEDICATION and Anthony said SENSATIONAL, She’s just sensational. We think you’ll agree, that’s what love has to do with it!
