Usually videos go viral. You know the ones that feature a couple’s unique first dance, an adorable baby doing something extraordinary or a well-planned marriage proposal. Photos don’t go viral as often, but over the last few weeks a beautiful wedding photo has done just that. This photo belongs to Nicole and Brandon Wylie, who recently celebrated their 6th year wedding anniversary.
After receiving such an amazing response, they decided to share their story with the BMWK family. We are honored they chose us and excited to share their story with you. I have to say, after interviewing these two, I don’t think I’ve ever laughed as hard, in an interview, as I did during this one. This couple is amazing, and their love story is an inspiration to us all.
BMWK: First, I want to thank you both for sharing your story. We were excited to hear from Nicole. Can you share with us what happened when you posted the wedding picture on Facebook recently? Nicole, you posted it right?
Nicole: Well, Actually, both of us posted it. What do you mean no, no, no? (talking to Brandon in the background) It was our anniversary.
Brandon: (in the background): Let me take the phone.
Nicole: Let me tell you Tiya, one thing about my husband. My husband thinks, he knows it all. He’s going to always have an extended version of my stories.
Brandon: So, okay Tiya are you ready?
BMWK: I’m ready ready, this is going to be the real story huh?
Brandon: Yes, Real Househusbands of Atlanta.
Nicole: Whatever (laughs)
Brandon: So, we were at dinner celebrating our 6 year wedding anniversary and I was looking across the table over a bucket of crab legs just gazing into her eyes and I thought to myself, let me update my Facebook page with a picture of my boo. I said alright I’ll change my background picture. When I did that, didn’t think anything of it. That’s all I did and I showed it to her and said remember this? And she goes “ahhh” while she’s cracking the crab legs and the juice hit me in the eye. So I started crying cause the crab juice hit me in the eye.
(all laugh)
Nicole: Stop it! (laughs)
By the time we got home that evening we literally had about 700 likes. I said what is going on. She doesn’t know 700 people.
Brandon: By the time we got home that evening we literally had about 700 likes. I said what is going on. She doesn’t know 700 people.
Nicole: Whatever.
Brandon: I’m like babe this thing is growing. Then it’s like over 1.4k. I’m like what! Before that night was over, the first night, the picture on my page got to about 3,000 likes, the first night. The first 6 hours of the posting.
Diane Robertson says
This story truly, truly Blessed me this morning! I don’t have near the health issues this wonderful bride had/has but find myself doubting my ability to attract true unconditional love from a mate since it keeps evading me. Thanks for posting….and for making me cry, way too early in the day :0) . God Bless this fantastic couple and the ministry through this website!
Kimberly says
This story was simply beautiful! My mother has Vitiligo and she strides just as well! Very inspiring story, beautiful family!
Suzette says
I love how Nicole & Brandon back each other up. They both know how to honor and support the other person. Beautiful!
Kaya says
Thank you so much for this beautiful story, really gives those that are caught in a ‘superficial’ world hope for true love, looking past ones faults and seeing there hearts! Seeing past the physical and seeing the spiritual. Years brought tears to my eyes. I don’t have vitiligo but wear braces on my legs and I had a beautiful husband that loved me so much until he passed. I thank the craetor for that love. It saved and gave me life.
Stephanieb says
One of my favorite stories (and couples) on BMWK. I hope and pray too that this couple and their family will have a long and happy life together. I can only hope and pray to find a great man like that one day. They seem to have such a great chemistry too!!

Tameca Brown says
It was truly inspiring. That is what I want to convey to my daughter about being confident. I am growing her that way to let her confidence shine through.
Yvonne says
What a beautiful couple and a beautiful love story. This is how true love looks! And those beautiful daughters, you are abundantly blessed. Happy Anniversary and may you have many more!
Joyce Wylie says
Well when. I started. reading this wonderful love story of my son and his beautiful wife I knew the tears would fall. When Brandon firist told me about this young lady I knew she was going to be in his life such a good hearted young women. Woman. after my own heart so proud to have her as my daughter ln-law.
Tiya says
Thank you Mrs Wylie for leaving a comment. I thoroughly interviewing them. Your son is hilarious.

Brandon is a very lucky man and though I’ve not met you Brandon, seems Nicole is pretty lucky too. 🙂 Your girls are gorgeous! Wonderful to see such a loving family. Hugs ‘n Love to Y’all!

I absolutely adore this story! Although I do not share her same skin disorder I do struggle with the lack of self-confidence stemming from the fact that love appears to evade me. the story has inspired me as well as reminded me that there’s nothing wrong with me, that I am lovable and that I’m very capable of finding love.and more importantly that there are some genuine men that still exist in this world who are looking for and needing a person like myself. I’ve always been taught that our lifes’ experiences are not for ourselves but to be a testimony for others! This story has compelled me to stop focusing on what might be wrong with me, but to zone in on all that’s well with me! To the Wiley family, I thank you for sharing your story with the world for it feels as though the world has a shortage of what you have, together. I pray God continues to richly bless your family and sustain the love you share. God Bless! Diane

THIS WAS THE MOST HEART WARMING STORY I’VE READ IN A VERY LONG TIME.MAY GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR BEAUTIFUL FAMILY.KEEP GOD FIRST .WE HAVE ALL KINDS OF PEOPLE IN THIS WORLD BUT YOU HAVE SHOWN US THAT LOVE HAS NO SPECIAL LOOK.GLAD YOU SAW HER WITH YOUR HEART.
Frances Stanfield says
I so love this story. I ran upon this on my FB wall via African Heritage City but I know about you all form Blogalicious and Joyce Auld whom I found knows you and is a former classmate and friend of mine. I found this story so inspiring because it is a true testament of love and how love endures forever. They are such a beautiful family.
I celebrated my 30th wedding anniversary this year and THIS story reminded me that there is love for everyone. Sometimes you think you won’t find it but you really will. I lost all of my hair to alopecia at 15 and thought wow, that’s it for me but it really wasn’t. Thanks for this interview. It certainly was an inspiration and exudes so much confidence through Brandon & Nicole in marriage, love and family.
Peace,
Frances
Gloria says
I am a white 66 year old female. I cried all through your interview because of your bravery and really not letting vitiligo define you. I too have vitiligo since the age of 32.I went thru an unwanted divorce and it started then. Maybe the trauma of grieving started it. I don’t know. I have tried to cover it with makeup but it is now 3/4th of my body. I can now talk about it, which helps. Also, I am loved by all in spite of my appearance, including a second husband. You inspire me. Best wishes to you all.
Bev says
Wow, wow wow. I absolutely applaud you both. I am from the Caribbean but it doesn’t matter where I am honoured to have read your story and wish you, your daughters and your extended family all God’s blessings and a truly prosperous life
Bigdog says
Know what’s best about this interview? The vitiligo is just an intro to a love love love story. Seeing the interplay between Brandon and Nicole says all you need to know. And the three beautiful girls have a strong role model and a terrific dad. I went through a few links to find this story, and this white boy is glad he did. Strong.
jennifer says
This was a great story to read and very inspirational! I will have to admit you have given me a very good education on Vitiligo and I have seen people with Vitiligo, I never stare but I also am uneasy because I have never known what it is. Now that I know what it is and it makes a lot of people hang their heads low, I will be able to explain it to my kids if we are ever out and about and they are staring (which we know all kids do) and hopefully be able to interact with the person who has Vitiligo and reassure them that they are no different than anyone without Vitiligo. Two birds with one stone… educate kids and help the confidence of another individual! So thank you for sharing such a great inspirational story and educating a lot of people!
Rob Miller says
I feel like such an idiot…I kept looking at the picture, trying to figure out what “Vitiligo” is, never realizing her beautifully patterned skin was considered an “affliction” or different in a “bad” way. Took me until the 3rd page to figure it out. She is so lucky to have unique skin…rather than ordinary/boring. Why do we humans waste so much time worrying what shade we are? From the palest redhead, to the darkest ebony, all are beautiful.
DJ says
I am in the middle of a separation and this story gives me hope. It lets me know that true love does still exist and is still possible. May GOD bless you both in love and happiness. Thanks for sharing
Lori Woodruff says

Yvette Hill says
I hope and pray
God will continue to bless this family. What a beautiful story.

IM GLAD SOMEONE SHARES A INSPIRING STORY FOR YOUNG GIRLS TO SEE THEY DONT HAVE TO GO OUT AND GET GIGANTIC BOOTIES AND WEAR LITTLE CLOTHES TO GET A MAN . IF HE LOVES YOU HE WILL ACCEPT WHAT GOD HAS CREATED.
Amy Sedor says
Thanks for sharing your beautiful story and pics. I am impressed how you spontaneously repigmented. Was it something you did like diet or medical? I have vitiligo as well. For 26 years now. I am Caucasian so it is not as noticeable. I feel the stares, but I just have to keep on moving past them. People who know me don’t even see it anymore. When I see a pic of myself, I am always surprised to see it on my skin! Again, thanks for sharing.
Lisa Brown says
Nicole and Brandon……may God continue to bless the both of you as well as your BEAUTIFUL children. Nicole…YOU ARE A BEAUTIFUL WOMAN IN EVERY ASPECT OF THE WORD. Thank you both for sharing this story with the world. I pray EVERYDAY to find love like yours. Nicole, continue being the BEAUTIFUL WOMAN you are. Brandon, keep being that KING that you are. Showing and sharing this picture of your QUEEN…..PRICELESS. I love you guys and don’t even know you…lol. If I never saw UNCONDITIONAL TRUE LOVE before a day in my 47 years…I have saw in in this BEAUTIFUL PHOTO. May God continue to add more and more blessings to your lives. Thank you a million times for sharing.

I found your story very encouraging. Very. Sometimes I’m okay.I still struggle with confidence at 50. I have neurofibromatosis, which manifests itself on the skin. People can be hurtful, ignorant and insensitive.

Charlotte says
What a beautiful and inspiring love story!! They are definitely “equally yoked”. May God continue to richly bless you and your family.
amiability says
that i call a real man who is not ashamed but proud of what reflects his life
Tara says
If there ever was a time that I find myself questioned my own life it is now. Not only did you guys inspire me, your story made me face some issues that I have both denied and refused to face. One day love will find me and I pray that day will be as beautiful as yours. I have always been the motivator factor for others but in doing so I forgot to motivate myself in some areas. Congrats and God Bless!
LISA says
You too are one of the most inspriational couples I have every read about. Beauty does not have a name or a look it is just is that BEAUTY!! Nichole put your hater blockers on, walk with your head held high… You are totally beautiful!! Be bless, today and always.
Thanks for sharing your story,
