What celeb couple celebrated one year of marriage? Flip the hood to find out who beat the odds.

It’s Malinda Williams and D-Nice. Both Malinda and Dee were good friends for years before expressing deeper feelings for one another.  After being in previous relationships that didn’t work before, Malinda says it’s the small things that count and make their relationship work such as:

Congrats to them.  Black love can be so beautiful, especially in the early stages!
