Terry and Tammy Hill - Queen Size Magazine’s King and Queen

Queen Size Magazine recently ran a contest looking for a couple to King and Queen. The winner was set to receive a cover feature in the February issue of our magazine and a night out to dinner. We received many submissions but there was one couple that stood out the most to us.

Tammy and Terry Hill is quite deserving of this prize. They are a young married couple with six children from Philadelphia, PA. This couple is an example of true love really does exist. They faced many obstacles throughout their relationship but they were determined to stay together; determined to prove that love conquers all.  Twenty two years later their love still goes strong. Tammy is a Nursing Assistant and Terry is a Chef. They don’t have much but what they do have is the love and support of each other and their children.

Even from the names it seems these two were meant to be together. The couple met in their hometown of Philadelphia, PA 22 years ago at a friend’s party. Some of us laugh at the notion of love at first sight, but Tammy said she knew when she laid her eyes on him that he was the one for her and at that time she was only 13 year old. Proof that age knows no number. Throughout their relationship, like most, they have been tested, but they were determined not to let anything keep them apart. For many years they had to sneak around to see each other because Tammy’s parents disliked Terry. Terry’s parents treated Tammy as if she was their own but they didn’t fully accept their relationship until after the marriage.

It must be something raising 3 boy and 3 girls ages 17, 15, 12, 5, 6 and 3 years old; I want to pull my hair out sometimes with two kids. I don’t know how they do it with six.

Terry knew this was the woman that he wanted to spend the rest of his life. One day he took Tammy out to dinner and a movie, when they got home he couldn’t wait another day to ask Tammy to marry him so he got down on one knew and popped the question. With the help from Tammy’s bridesmaids they were able to put together their wedding in six months. Financially they planned the whole wedding with no assistance from anyone else.

We live in the days where the divorce rate is continuing to climb to an all time high. We hear so much about people getting divorced, we rarely hear the triumphant stories of the one that stay together through it all. So when we read Terry and Tammy’s story we knew we had a winner. Tammy and Terry got married and were never able to have a honeymoon; they simply could not afford it.

Tammy Hill, you are my better half, my world, my oxygen; without you I couldn’t breathe. You are my best friend, my lover. I knew the moment we met that you were going to be my wife. I love you with everything in me; you have made me a better person. You gave me six beautiful kids. For this and more, I love you so very much!” ~Terry Hill

I love this man with everything in me. He is my everything; he is my best friend, my lover. He is a great father and a wonderful husband. I am glad God has brought this man into my life. Without him I don’t know where I would be. I love you so much Terry Hill and I am blessed to have you as my husband. ~Tammy Hill
