It still shocks me that the ruling to allow marriage between races was overturned within my lifetime. We have been happily married for 12 years (my husband is white, I am black). We are best friends and love each other deeply. I cannot imagine going through what the Lovings did and we THANK them profusely for paving the way in order for us to be together proudly and without fear!!

Brian and I met at work. We were friends before we were lovers; good friends at that. The inter-racial thing was never really an issue. It's weird for me because, you see, I'm adopted. I am Colombian (born in Bogotá) and I was raised by an Irish/Polish-American family. I never thought I was white, but being adopted into a family where you can easily appear to be un-related was never how I felt. I guess I couldn't recognized race until I was much more social, older and independent.

My husband and I met at work (but I know this is a no-no, you should not be dating with people that you work with --ha-ha!) and it turned into one of the most loving and caring relationships ever.

Here's how it all got started :

My husband and I have been married for 6 years and it has been wonderful. We now have two beautiful little girls that we have been blessed with and we thank God everyday that he brought us together. We are very aware that if it wasn't for people like the Lovings we wouldn't have been able to marry.This is a great website to pay tribute to the strength of people before us that makes our relationship possible.

So a blond walks into a bar...haha, kidding! But this blond from the American Midwest DID walk into a whole new world, and found love along the way.

I am happy to say I got married on August 12th in India to my parter Nathan who is of British Jamaican. :) We have had a up and down journey but we have come through and are still going. 

Indian society have a judgmental view of black ppl unfortunately, this is due to many things, the ill educated understanding of black ppl by Indian ppl and also the media stereotype of black ppl amongst other things.

Shaun and I have been happily married for a little over 5 years. I'm proud of our relationship and don't understand the stigma that often comes with dating/marrying outside of your race. I love my life and my husband and the beautiful daughter that joined our family last year. She is a lasting testament to our love and super cute too. Don't mean to toot my own horn but....TOOT TOOT. :)
