Creating a loving blended family can be a challenge for most couples, but it didn’t scare Lesley and Kamau Ware. The newlyweds admit it was a struggle at times for Lesley to connect with Kamau’s son, Asis, but the reward was so worth it.
From BlackBridalBliss.com:
Lesley, a Michigan native, had recently moved to Pittsburgh for a new job and wanted to purchase a painting for her place.
“It was my first time buying artwork so several friends suggested I check out a gallery near my apartment,” she explains. When she finally made her way to said gallery, Lesley met Kamau who was running the space along with a friend. Kamau helped Lesley choose a painting and shortly after stopped by her abode to drop it off.
“We stayed up until 5:00AM the next morning talking,” recalls Kamau. Needless to say the twosome hit it off but were strictly platonic in the beginning. “We denied being a couple at first. Our friends saw [our relationship blooming] before we did,” remembers Lesley.
