WESTERN BUREAU:Talk about 'out of the box' and an unorthodox Latoya Charlene Johnson walked that talk on Saturday, July 9, when she appeared on the dock of the Montego Bay Yacht Club in a red-hot, flowing wedding gown.
Discarding traditional white, the barefoot bride was met on arrival by her soulmate, Calvin Anderson, who carefully dressed her Cinderella-looking feet with a pair of fabulous stilettos.
The couple, Johnson, former senior reporter at the RJR Communications Group and Anderson, a trucker and assistant pastor in Boston, Massachusetts, tied the knot in the view of an intimate group of family members and friends, who travelled from near and far to share in this celebration.
"My dear wife, I hereby grant you my mind, because I am no longer single-minded, I now have a 360-degree perspective; as long as you are with me, I can see life from all angles," declared Anderson as he repeated his vows.
Granting his soul to his wife, until the Lord decides to take it, he also gave his body to her for security and love, "Because, truly, today I am happy that we are one".
In the true sense of the words spoken at this wedding ceremony, Latoya Johnson, a former tomboy, who rode bikes and still climbs trees, showed her feminine side.
The couple and their four children will reside in the United States.
