Our Story

It was around the year 1999 on a Friday night on 6109 Alma Street in Philadelphia, PA when I first met Sherry. Her brother, Herry, was working in Philadelphia and attended Bethel Marthoma Church. Herry stopped by my house to pick my brother and me up for Youth Fellowship at Church. I was returning from hockey practice and had to quickly run into the house to change . Luckily, I changed in time and had the privilege to sit next to Sherry. I attempted to sing songs during Youth League but I was easily distracted by the beautiful voice of one Sherry K. Alex. This was the first time I had met Sherry, but not the last…

I’m going to fast forward to the summer of 2000 as I was home alone for about two months during the summer. My brother and mother left for India while I stayed back and attended a summer program at Drexel University. Herry invited me to attend a Church event in Hershey Park, PA for his congregation from New York. I began to talk to Sherry during the visit to Hershey Park and was instantly attracted to her outgoing personality from the conversations we had. We became good friends after the trip and continued to keep in touch…

Two and three years went by as our lives took a turn that we both never expected. Our conversations lasted longer and longer as we grew closer and closer. Honestly, I never thought I had a chance with Sherry. Our friendly and flirtatious conversations made me wonder at times how she really felt for me. I’ll be the first to admit that she made the first move. I guess the rest is just history...
