"A lot of Amazon and Etsy gets you through," Uzo laughed. "Just quietly and with a small group, of course - our most loved and closest family and friends. It was awesome."
"When you realize you want to spend the rest of your life with somebody, you want the rest of your life to start as soon as possible," she gushed back then.
"For some of us, it can feel like we spend our whole lives waiting for our special someone. My heart, my love - I'm so happy my life started last year with you. You're the best thing that ever happened to me."
