Natasha and fiance Stephen "We share a beautiful love story" |
News
that former beauty queen Natasha Beckley and her boyfriend had
become engaged made major headline a few weeks ago.
On the 3rd of October the pageant director and her fiance, Stephen Tucker, held their traditional engagement ceremony in the U.S.
The couple struck up a romance in March this year after they were introduced by Stephen’s mothers twin sister "Mama Joyce".
In an exclusive interview with CornerYai, we caught up with the former beauty queen, who filled us in on the
proposal,engagement and wedding plans gossip.
Congratulations
Natasha! How do you feel about becoming a Mrs and a wife?
The
greatest overwhelming feeling ever!!
Becoming
a wife is a beautiful feeling, it's a stage of learning how to take up
responsibility and grow up fast. Learning that I have to make it in life
because we have to lay the foundation for our happiness and to raise our future
children. Evaluating, always making sure that we are making the right decisions
for the both of us. This has been an amazing experience, also learning how to
balance African entertainment and having a lifetime partner.
Did you have a hint or idea that he would propose when he did?
Stephen is God sent, I knew he was going to propose
but was not sure when. I hate surprises.
So how did it happen, how did he propose?
As a former beauty queen and pageant director I am use
to planning EVERYTHING. I need to know WHO, WHAT, WHERE, WHEN , and HOW, but
after a beautiful day at six flags on Sunday, Monday September 7th and extra
large slices of cheese pizza in Philly, Stephen started telling me how much I
meant to him , he got on his knees and proposed.
Jumping with excitement i ran away and I remember a
lady saying "Girl you better go get your man."(Laugh) It was such a beautiful feeling.
On
the 8th of September I celebrated my 28th birthday, what a great start, and I
look forward to counting many blessings.
When
did you know that Stephen was “the one”?
I
knew Stephen was the one after our first conversation. Fairy tales do come
true, Cinderella got nothing on me just kidding but I am serious. I was scared
to death because he reminds me so much of my father and my brothers.
I am
the only girl and my Father and my brothers are my world. Stephen stole my
heart with his charming personality, he is extremely passionate about
everything, God fearing, kind hearted and very supportive. I knew that I was in
trouble, and that this man was in my life to love me forever. I was so scared,
thinking to myself "Oh God am I ready, i hope he likes spaghetti or baked
salmon, Lord what if he always craves Sierra Leonean food , if he does what
sauces can I cook , mom can we make a recipe book , mom I need you , mom pick
up (laugh).Nervous because I was not sure if I was ready to make this step, but
definitely sure because in his arms my heart found a resting place. I will not
trade this man for the world and I thank God for such a beautiful Union.
So
you know we have to ask,Have you set a wedding date?
if
you haven’t,will you let us know when
you do?
Yes yes yes I will certainly let you know and extend
your invitation, but I just want to rest. We just celebrated our traditional
engagement on the 3rd of October and I am trying to get over that before moving
on.
Finally I will also like to say, thank you to all the
family and friends that supported Stephen and I on the 3rd , we had an amazing
time, and I can honestly say that I have the BRIDAL PARTY OF LIFE. My girls
were so beautiful.
Well, it has been a pleasure chatting with you Natasha, and we wish you and Stephen all the best in your upcoming nuptials.
Thank
you for this beautiful interview,and for the unbelievers, real Sierra Leonean
love in our generation exists.
Signing out ,Natasha Beckley soon to be Mrs Beckley-Tucker (Laugh)
