Our Wedding

In the summer of 2016, the seeds of a captivating story were sown as a small group of college students gathered in the lush campus garden to brainstorm plans for the upcoming year. Among them, Keston couldn't help but be drawn to the radiant presence of Kiana. As discussions unfolded, Keston found himself increasingly intrigued by Kiana's intelligence and humor. Emboldened by the blossoming interest, Keston decided to make a move and call her. However, fate played a playful hand when he discovered that the number on the contact information sheet was incorrect. Determined not to let this be a hurdle, Keston seized the opportunity over lunch the next day to connect with Kiana personally and obtain her correct phone number. Little did they know, this chance encounter would mark the beginning of a beautiful journey that transcended the seasons of college life.The narrative of Kiana and Keston unfolded like a beautiful novel, each chapter revealing a new layer to their connection. Fast-forward to the first day of classes, Keston's realization that Kiana was enrolled in the same Theology class as him sparked a turning point in their story. Concerned about her absence, Keston took the initiative to reach out, urging her to join him in class the following week. Despite being behind on homework, Kiana's worries were eased when Keston generously offered his help. Their journey together began in the college library, where hours turned into days as they tackled assignments and shared laughs. A deep friendship blossomed, and on Valentine's Day of 2017, the unspoken emotions between them surfaced. Kiana, contemplating her feelings, devised a plan for Keston to confess first. Their admission of mutual affection marked a significant moment, leading to their first date at the Cheesecake Factory. Their relationship continued to flourish, culminating in a summer beach trip where Keston formally asked Kiana to be his girlfriend. Post-college, they chose to build a life together in Maryland, navigating family introductions and celebrating milestones.&nbsp;Observing the flourishing success of their relationship, Keston found himself in a reflective moment. The depth of their connection, the shared laughter, and the support they provided each other had become an integral part of his life. It became evident that he couldn't imagine his future with anyone else. In that contemplative space, Keston felt a profound certainty that it was time for a significant and transformative step in their journey together. The idea of a shared life, filled with love and companionship, took root, and Keston knew he was ready to take the plunge into the next chapter of their story. On Christmas Day of 2021, surrounded by the warmth of the season, Keston knelt down and asked Kiana to spend the rest of her life with him, and she joyfully accepted, sealing their love with the promise of a shared future.

Our Story

When Kiana first introduced Keston to the family, I couldn't help but be skeptical of any man attempting to get close to my sister. However, Keston proved himself from the start. He seamlessly blended into our sisterly dynamic, effortlessly joining in our laughter-filled gatherings. It was clear to me that he could withstand any challenge I threw his way, even adhering to the meticulously curated Christmas gift list. As he stepped into our Brooklyn home, he slipped into the role of a brother with ease. I know I can rely on him for anything; his unwavering support knows no bounds. While Kiana will always be my other half, apologies to Leo, I still turn to her as I did when I was just a toddler seeking comfort in her bed during thunderstorms. Their bond is unbreakable and truly admirable, and I feel honored to witness its growth and strength.

Our friendship has been filled with countless cherished moments, but one that stands out vividly in my memory is the prank pulled on my birthday weekend in Connecticut four years ago when I was tricked into getting my ring size measured. I fell for it hook, line, and sinker, completely oblivious because I knew about the engagement of Kiana and Keston was soon approaching. Those visits to WAU when Kiana embarked on her college journey also hold a special place in my heart, serving as a foundation that has sustained our bond over the years. Witnessing Kiana achieve milestones and overcome challenges has been a source of immense pride, knowing that she has always had my back through thick and thin. In Kiana, I haven't just found a friend, but a sister who would go to great lengths to defend and support me. Indeed, if not for moments like these, what else are friends for?

To my beautiful cousin! I am beyond excited to embark on this new journey alongside you! Witnessing your happiness in full effect brings tears of joy to my eyes. From our carefree days as little girls, running through whoever's house we could find, to now standing as fully grown women, the transformation is nothing short of astonishing. Thank you for always being there to listen to my chaotic life stories and for loving me unconditionally, even when I forget to return your calls. While this may not be a specific memory, the anticipation of standing beside you on such a special day fills me with unparalleled excitement! I love you, Kiki, to the moon and back ❤️.

One of my fondest memories that is swiftly evolving into a cherished tradition is spending New Year's with The K's. Each year, the warmth of their company makes the occasion unforgettable. From lively conversations to shared laughter and game nights, every moment spent with them is imbued with a sense of togetherness and happiness. As the years pass, I find myself looking forward to this annual gathering, knowing it will bring not only excitement for the new year ahead but also the comfort of being surrounded by friends.

My memory with Kiana dates back to our time as college roommates. In those shared living quarters, I found not just a roommate, but a supportive friend. Kiana's protective nature and unwavering support were evident, especially in moments where I needed it most. I'll never forget a particular instance when another student, unfamiliar with my name or my boundaries, brazenly asked me for a favor. Without hesitation, Kiana stepped in, firmly declining on my behalf. In that moment, her loyalty and advocacy spoke volumes about the depth of our friendship.

One of my most cherished memories with Kiana dates back to our elementary school days, specifically in 5th grade when we both started at the same school. On that nerve-wracking first day, I found myself in tears, overwhelmed by the new environment. It was then that Kiana approached me, offering words of comfort and reassurance: "we're going to get through this together." From that moment onward, our friendship blossomed, and for eight years, we journeyed to and from school side by side, sharing in laughter and embarking on countless adventures. Some of our escapades may have landed us in trouble, much to the bemusement of our mothers who are still trying to piece together the mischief we got into! Although life may have led us down different paths at times, our sisterhood remains unwavering. Distance may separate us physically, but our bond remains unbreakable, forever etched in the depths of our hearts. 💛

My favorite moments spent with Keston and Kiana were during their family vacations to Lancaster, Atlantic City, and Rehoboth Beach. In each adventure, their hospitality and warmth made me feel like a valued member of their family, and I treasure every memory we’ve created together. Among these, winning the soccer intramurals with the Archers during our final year at WAU stands out as a highlight. The thrill of victory and the bonds formed on the field remain vivid in my memory. Seeing Keston's continued success brings me immense joy, a testament to his enduring spirit and determination.

One of my fondest memories with you, Kiana, and Keston is undoubtedly our trip to Dover to celebrate Dominique's birthday. There's so much to reminisce about because ALOT HAPPENED. We ended up booking a room at the hotel, and sharing that space was a testament to the bond we share. Through every moment, it's been nothing but love and laughter with you both. These memories are treasures I wouldn't trade for anything. Your friendship means the world to me, and seeing you with Keston fills my heart with joy. You're not just a friend you’re my sister; you'll make an incredible wife for my brother. 💯💙

One of the most memorable moments for me was the first time we decided to take on the challenge of playing the COD bots on the veteran difficulty setting, completely unaware of the level of intensity awaiting us. Throughout the entire game, all four of us were on edge, feeling the pressure and stress mounting with each passing moment. While we somehow managed to push through and even dared to attempt another round on the same difficulty later that day, the overwhelming stress of the experience is what truly etched it into our memories. It was a night filled with adrenaline, frustration, and laughter—a true testament to the bond we share and the adventures we embark on together.

My favorite memory with KG occurred during a camping trip at Pine Forge for Pathfinders, where we found ourselves caught in the midst of a storm. As the winds howled and the rain pelted down, we found ourselves clinging to the tent poles, determined to prevent its collapse. Despite the chaos unfolding around us, we found solace in each other's company, sharing jokes and laughter amid the storm. In moments of adversity, KG's steadfastness shines through; he has an innate ability to anchor those around him with unwavering support. That's simply who he is—steadfast, reliable, and always there when you need him.

Some of my absolute favorite memories with Kiana and Keston were when they introduced Trishelle and me to K-BBQ! Kiana and Keston have also included me in their family Christmas gift exchange. It meant the world to me, especially since I had expressed that I hadn't experienced such traditions with my own family. Despite the hectic demands of the academy being my priority at the time, they both graciously welcomed me into their home without any hesitation. Their kindness and generosity during those moments left a lasting impact, and I'm forever grateful for their friendship and support.

One cherished memory I hold dear is the generosity you and Keston showed me when I needed a place to stay while working in Maryland for the summer. Your kindness and hospitality made a significant impact on me, providing not just a roof over my head, but also a sense of belonging and support during my time away from home. I'll always be grateful for the warmth and comfort you both extended to me, turning what could have been a lonely period into a time filled with friendship and fond memories.
