Monique and Denzil's journey began with a twist of fate, sparked by a bold proclamation from a mutual friend during Monique's 25th birthday celebration. Shakira's playful declaration, "I'm going to find you a husband," led to a photo posted on Snapchat and an inquiry by Denzil. Little did he know, this would lead to him finding his future wife. As their love story unfolded, it was their common ground of faith, a reverent belief in God, and mutual Guyanese roots that ignited and anchored their connection. With Denzil in the heart of Texas and Monique in New York, these beliefs were their true North while navigating the challenges of the growing relationship. Through storms and sunshine, their love story evolved, as God developed them on a path to understand true love.

On the eve of Monique's 31st birthday, Denzil orchestrated a heartfelt intimate proposal. Against a backdrop of a gorgeous flower wall in one of her favorite restaurants, Denzil knelt before Monique and asked the pivotal question, "Will you marry me?" With a heart full of certainty, she replied, "Yes!" As they embark on their journey together, we acknowledge the profound connection that unites them, the grace of God that keeps them, and His blessings for a new union! We look forward to continuing this major celebration with you all.
