We first met in Washington, DC at Howard University. We were both from Chicago, in the same class, with the same major. Although we had several classes together and some mutual friends, we didn’t spend much time around each other. That is, until graduation when we were fortunate enough to sit together. We talked and laughed the entire ceremony, and a few weeks later, we went on our first date in Chicago. We’ve been inseparable ever since!
We got engaged at El Matador Beach in Malibu, California – a long way from our first date at 31st Street Beach here in Chicago. We were celebrating Valentine’s Day (which happens to be the bride’s favorite holiday) so it’s only fitting that the day was filled with romance. From the sunset proposal on the beach, to dinner at one of our favorite restaurants, to a private celebratory location in West LA, our engagement was a day to remember!
We're so excited to celebrate our wedding day with each of you!
