I saw this timeless photo on President Trump’s timeline and it made me think about weddings.
Looking back on our wedding day still brings tears to my eyes—the kind that come from deep gratitude. The kind that remind you God really does exceed expectations. Our wedding wasn’t just a beautiful event. It was a move of God. A covenant moment. A legacy being born in real time.
Let’s talk about the destination.
We chose a place that felt sacred. Peaceful. Romantic in the most intentional way. A place that didn’t just look good in photos—but felt right in our spirit.
For us, that meant “a Southern estate surrounded by oak trees dripping with Spanish moss,” or “the quiet majesty of Lake. Every inch of that space carried purpose. It wasn’t loud or showy. It was still. Holy. Covered in grace.
Now, let’s talk style.
Our wedding style was timeless. Elegant. Soft. Anointed.
I wore a classic, structured gown with long sleeves, a low back, and delicate beading. The veil was cathedral length—not for drama, but for reverence. The palette was romantic: ivory, cream, blush, and gold. Every table was covered in candles and flowers, but never in excess—just enough to feel sacred.
Our ceremony wasn’t a show. It was an altar.
We prayed. Took communion. Our elders laid hands on us. I remember the weight of the moment—not in burden, but in glory. We weren’t just getting married. We were entering covenant.
And the reception? Joy. Celebration. We danced to Anita Baker, Earth Wind & Fire, and some Afrobeats toward the end of the night. The food was intentional. The music was curated. The love in the room? Tangible.
We wanted a God-ordained experience. And that’s exactly what we got.
I thank God that I didn’t just marry my love—I stepped into destiny.
A beginning wrapped in beauty, faith, and purpose.
Now I want to hear from you—what’s your dream wedding destination and style?
Are you into elegant courtyards, beach elopements, Black-tie ballrooms, or sacred garden ceremonies? Drop your dream below—I’d love to hear it.
Because when the vision is clear, the day becomes more than just a party—it becomes a prophecy fulfilled.
