Vows
After almost 17 years unitedly, Leron will rogers and Chinyere Gonzalez exchanged vows in Jamaica after her children urged them to do it official.
Chinyere Gonzalez wasn’t expecting much from her first date with Leron Edward Rogers. The two had crossed paths twice before their May 2008 meet-up at Lime, a now-closed tequila bar in Atlanta, and neither of those encounters had inspired butterflies.
Mr. Rogers, 53, was with his children the first time they met at the 5th birthday party of a mutual friend’s daughter in fall 2007, and in what he called “dad mode.” When they met a second time, months later, to talk through some legal questions she had, he was in business mode.
By the time the first date, which ended at Blind Willie’s Blues Club, rolled around, he had found a third mode: dancing machine. “It was a Friday night and I was relaxing, and she saw my moves,” he said. “I had some really good dance moves.” They were complemented by a healthy sense of humor.
“He made me laugh,” said Ms. Gonzalez, 52. “I don’t remember what we talked about that night because it was so long ago. But it felt like we were the only people there.”
