Our Wedding

In 2016, Elijah and I both were students at Tuskegee University,&nbsp;&nbsp;and both having a great passion for African American history began to work at Tuskegee’s George Washington Carver Museum. It was there where our worlds would unknowingly began to intertwine into the beautiful love story we have today. Our good friend and mentor, Mrs. Brittany Lane, who was working at the museum at the time, knew that Elijah and I were both single and she felt that we would be a great match for each other. Mrs. Brittany talked to both Elijah and I separately to encourage us to get to know each other. However, the timing was just not right for both of us then, but it did put us on each other’s radar. Fast-forward a few months later, and a simple social media post made by Elijah caused us to spark a small conversation that became a wonderful friendship. Eventually, Elijah worked up the courage to ask me out on a date and we began to date each other until we were about to graduate from college. We both decided to pursue our careers in different states after graduation and weren’t sure if we would want to pursue a long distance relationship. However, we both found it hard to go a day without speaking to each other. Therefore, on August 16th, 2020 we decided to make our relationship official! We have been growing with each other and learning how to love and be loved by each other since then. On March 16th, 2024, Elijah proposed to me in the presence of our family and close friends. I lovingly said yes, agreeing to this pursuit of a sacred God ordained partnership! We are very happy and ready to embark upon this new journey together through the celebration of our union on August 16th, 2025. We hope that you all can join us for this joyous occasion!&nbsp;❤️
