SECRETS TO A LASTING RELATIONSHIP - PART SIX: THE WEDDING!

SECRETS TO A LASTING RELATIONSHIP
PART SIX: THE WEDDING!

🎉✨ Welcome to Part Six of our love story - The Wedding! I'm Fay, and this is my husband, Erskine Knowles. ❤️ We met in Nassau, Bahamas, back in September 1965. 🎸 Erskine is a talented guitarist, vocalist, and songwriter from Long Island, Bahamas, while I'm an author and a singer, born in Stirling, Scotland. After spending years in England, I moved to Canada but quickly escaped to The Bahamas to avoid the brutal winter after just four months. 🌎 I thought I’d only be here for three months, ready to travel the world, but then I met Erskine after just a month! 💍 Nine months later, we were married in this beautiful paradise. Who knew a chance encounter would lead to a lifetime together? 🥰

"INDEPENDENCE MORNING" - PRISCILLA ROLLINS 1973

"INDEPENDENCE MORNING" - PRISCILLA ROLLINS 1973

“Independence Morning” is a song celebrating Bahamian Independence, written by famed Bahamian producer and entertainer Tony McKay a.k.a. Exuma The Obeah Man. It was first performed publicly by Bahamian musical icon Priscilla Rollins on July 10th, 1973, when The Bahamas became an independent nation 🇧🇸 The song beautifully captures the enthusiasm of our newly independent nation. 🎶 Priscilla received widespread acclaim for her patriotic performances. 🌟

Affectionately known as the “Bahamian Queen of Soul”, Priscilla Rollins was a Bahamian entertainer and international recording artist.

Born in Nassau, Bahamas, Priscilla got her musical start as a teenager singing with her mother in a gospel group of the late 50s - 60s called the Strachans Coral Group. As a teenager she also honed her skills singing at various talent shows and matinee dances. In the mid to late 60s Priscilla joined producer Cedric Munnings’ group The Mighty Makers. The group gained much national success and some international notoriety. The group performed at almost all of the hotspots of the era such as the Coyaba Room, Central Highway, and a club called Sin! In 1972 Priscilla left the group to pursue a solo career, teaming up with Tony McKay. McKay took her to New York where she recorded her first album on the former Roulette label.

OUR WEDDING 59 YEARS AGO!

This is fun! Son Rory did photo animation of our old wedding photo and brought Erskine and me to life!

"59 years ago yesterday July 2nd Erskine and I were married in St Anne's Anglican Church, Fox Hill, Nassau, Bahamas. The priest, Father King, told me he didn't believe in a bride being late for her wedding so he wouldn't marry us if I was late! Imagine how frantic I was when the limousine Erskine had booked for me and the Father Giver, Erskine's boss Mr Ashton (who didn't have a car), didn't turn up for me! Fortunately a good friend of Erskine's, Levi Wilson, stopped by to see if I needed any help. I told him just get me to the church on time please! We sped down Village Road in Levi's old car, along the Eastern Road, with me in full bridal attire, brown paper packages in the back and Levi wearing an old straw hat! I also have a photo of me picking up my skirts and running into the church! Fortunately I got there in time!"

 Look out for the next episode of our series "Secrets to a Successful Relationship" which will be "Part 6 - The Wedding"! For the five previous episodes look for the red rose on the video.
