When Lafoya first laid eyes on her he said “that's a beautiful looking woman”. Their hearts spoke for them when they decided they needed each other and wanted to take care of each other.

Joan wore a pink dressed borrowed from a friend and Robert wore the same suit from his previous marriages but vows this will be his last.
The wedding party was employees and neighbors with a flower girl, best man and maid of honor in attendance. Joan was nervous but it only took her 20 minutes to get ready before the ceremony.
“This is the best day of my life,” he said. “She probably saved me. And I feel that I need her.” “I needed him,” Williams said.
The newlyweds believe they have found their soul mates and promise to be together until death to they part.
