Elderly couple details love story

In a video on TikTok by @litsilihousehold, an interracial couple that has been together for 30 years spoke about their early days. The woman said they met in 1985 and started dating in 1993, and got married in 1995. They met when the man worked as a driver for the athletes of a running club.

The man said that when they met, it was difficult to approach a white lady, but they became friends first. He said it was only later that he started pushing to start meeting up with her, and they became close friends until he fell in love. He said they had to duck and dive as they started dating before the system change. Watch the video of the elderly couple below:
