Our Wedding Party

Idris & LaKesha

The Bride & Groom

Timeless Love❤️🖤 We met and became friends over 15 years ago. Idris, with a huge catfish in his hand and a smile on his face, and LaKesha, with big beautiful eyes and a huge heart, were captivated by each other. Busy with life, over the next several years we took different directions but remained friends and in contact as we grew a bond that has become unbreakable. On Valentine’s Day of 2023, we said “YES” to forever with each other! On August 9th 2024, we will begin our forever journey as one.
