Our Wedding

Living in our truth. Sit back and enjoy! For those of you who don’t know, Tanieka and I have known each other since high school. I saw her at many different track meets during school track and summer track. It wasn’t until we both moved to Oklahoma that we connected. You know two girls from ALMOST the same hood, so we hung out. Tanieka attended Oklahoma City University while I attended Langston University . Tanieka would always drive to Langston to attend parties with me. Throughout the years, our relationship faded after her school track program was cut. I attempted to convince her to come to Langston but she wanted work. I graduated and moved to Alabama to obtain my masters and decided to move back to Oklahoma( I’m not sure why). Tanieka and I reconnected right before I moved back. She was suppose to attend my graduation but she didn’t lol ( I had to put that in there). Friendly phone conversations preceded by an invitation to attend church one Sunday (June 19, 2016). The next Is history. We were inseparable ! Two opposites that balance each other. We decided to take our friendship to the next level. Tanieka has always told me “ You were the puzzle piece missing to our family”. November 23,2018 Tanieka gathered all of our family and friends together for an eventful night in St Louis at The Mastermind Escape Room. We were up for the challenge to complete a diamond heist . Little did I know the treasure was a diamond ring waiting for me. There she proposed ! Gods perfect timing !
