Our Wedding

It was a one in a million chance that&nbsp;Jawaskia and Sharonda's paths cross through countless profiles and messages on a very familiar social media site.&nbsp;Jawaskia (JL), with his warm smile and a knack for turning everyday moments into a musical adventure&nbsp;and Sharonda, a shy demeanor but a heart full of love, connected through their shared love for a good time. I think we can agree, "It went down in the DM" lol&nbsp; Their first date was a blend of excitement and nerves. JL, eager to make a memorable impression, had meticulously planned an evening that would be both enchanting and relaxing for them both. They met at a charming restaurant known for its cozy atmosphere and delectable cuisine. Sharonda, in her nervousness, had chosen an elegant but understated outfit, hoping to blend in with the evening’s romance rather than stand out. Dinner was a delightful affair. JL’s jokes flowed effortlessly, and despite her initial shyness, Sharonda found herself laughing and engaging more freely as the evening progressed. They discovered a mutual love for the rhythms and blues heard that night and decided to cap off the night with a visit to a nearby club where a live band was performing. As the band’s smooth melodies filled the air, the both slowly began to open up to each other.&nbsp; Sharonda recalls knowing that she was in love when JL became "the first person I thought about in the morning and the last person I thought of at night". JL recounts after Sharonda opened up to him fully, "I knew immediately I had to protect her and fell in love with her at that moment".

This is Our Love and it's Worth the Lake!
