\u201cYes, I believe in love at first sight. People may have their own perception about it but what is important is that, you see love as a decision and you will enjoy it fruits when you let that rule in your relationship.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen I first saw my wife, I knew she was made for me because her beauty attracted me.

\u201cI quite remember it was in 1998 or there about when the then Akyeame had to perform on TV3\u2019s Music Music. As the host, Stacy was part of the team that came to meet us at the airport because she had to interview us for promo.<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd anytime I steal a glance at her, I noticed she was also looking at me.\u00a0 I\u2019m a man and with experience when it comes to these things so I knew she was giving me the green light and I was motivated to make the first move,\u201d he said amidst laughter.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou know the kind of perception people have about male celebrities. I had to convince her well that I was single and meant business. I wasn\u2019t in to \u2018hit and run\u2019 as she thought at the time,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Asked how they have been able to sustain their marriage for 10 years when there is the perception that celebrity marrigaes hardly lasts, he said\u201d our little secret is that we don\u2019t allow our egos to take over in our union. It is about respecting and appreciating each others\u00a0 as relevant for our progress\u201d.<\/p>\n
