Neerellyn & Marquis
Wedding Party
Neerellyn
Bride
Written by Groom: There’s a feeling you get when you meet that someone that makes you feel good. Makes you feel acknowledged. Makes you feel love and supported. To such an extent that all you want to do is give them your best and your all in everything that you do. That’s how she makes me feel. She gives all of herself in all that she does and with everyone she cares about and looks after. Her beauty within matches her glowing beauty that I’m blessed to behold every day we spend living the beautiful life we’ve built together. My babe, my partner, my love. My lady, Neerellyn.
Marquis
Groom
Written by Bride: All the love songs were always about him. In 2013, I slipped, crashed, and fell in love with Marquis over long conversations and dance floors. It was the kind of love I heard of but never experienced. A mutual love, the kind where we were both crazy about each other. How could I not? Marquis is honest, interesting, intelligent, fun, and mysterious. He is someone I respect and admire. His arms feel like home. He always goes above and beyond to show me his love and commitment. There is no one else in this life that I would rather have by my side as a lover, friend, confidant, companion, and life partner.
