The 41-year-old Chicago man was born with otofacial syndrome, a rare congenital disease caused by a defective gene that prevents him from using his mouth to communicate or eat.
Instead, he uses sign language and an eating tube to communicate.
He said dating was so hard for him as he had low self-esteem and felt worthless, but when he started believing in himself and that he deserved more, that's when he found his wife.
Plan to live life with wife
Growing up, Williams said people close to him tried to shield him from the world but he did not want that to hold him back.
While eating through a special tube in his stomach, Williams learned to communicate using sign language, gestures, his phone, and handwritten notes.
His birth mother was "surprised" because he was born without a jaw. When he was just a few days old, he was sent to Chicago for various maxillofacial surgery.
Williams now pledges that his physical limitations will not keep him from living life to the fullest with Vania, and his aspirations include pursuing his passion for drumming and sharing music.
