A lasting love is created when love, loyalty, and being the greatest at what you do are all together.That is what Magic and Cookie Johnson have. The couple took us on a trip down memory lane and shared the cutest” stories with us in honor of their 28th wedding anniversary.
The Hall of Fame basketball player explained in a touching letter why he decided to wed his wife 30 years ago. It was shared on Instagram by him. He says, “I told you and my parents that you were the one I was going to marry after three months of dating. By far, being married to you was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made.
Because of “the work you’ve done as a mother and now as a grandmother,” he says, “I am so happy to call you my wife.” I hope our relationship lasts for a very long time. You have my undying love. One year has passed.
Additionally, Magic shared a photo of them “standing in front of the Hôtel de Paris Monte-Carlo while wearing FUBU,” which is distinctly ’90s. The ex-baller wrote to his wife, “Baby, I have to say, you look just as beautiful now as you did when I met you when you were 18,” praising her.
Mrs. Johnson presented a lovely collection of “then and now” photos as a token of her thanks. What can I say? she asks the NBA player in a letter. The most romantic person I have ever met is you. “I couldn’t ask for more from you; you never cease to amaze me and keep me on my toes. Though it’s difficult to describe, our love is ours alone since God is a part of it, and I cherish every second of it. Here’s to many, many more years of loving you.
Cookie also displayed images from their 1991 nuptials in Lansing, Michigan. Magic was raised in Lansing. The love has not altered, despite the changes in fashion.
“Magic and Cookie enjoyed a delicious meal at Los Angeles’ chic Tao restaurant to celebrate their anniversary.” They have consistently made a huge effort. The couple was joined by “MLB Hall of Famer Dave Winfield and his wife, Tonya Winfield, and Holly Robinson Peete and her husband, Rodney Peete.”
When they were both college freshman in 1977, Cookie and Magic first crossed paths. Every lady on campus wanted to meet him, which was hilarious, says Cookie. “I simply told myself, “Forget about it. There is no way he would pick me above any of these other women.
“Despite many ups and downs, the couple, who have two children together, has remained together. Magic learned he had HIV not long after they were wed. Magic claimed during a GMA interview that Cookie’s devotion for him was the reason he was still alive.
Cookie told Roberts, “God revealed me why I married this woman and why he put us together. “When I get home, I know I’m not Magic. Earvin is my name. We remain those Michigan youngsters. I’m only better than Cookie.
It had been a year since the Johnsons got married.
