Due to unforeseen circumstances with COVID-19, we have a few rules and regulations that we MUST abide by. We are so blessed to have family & friends like you who still want to come out and celebrate our special day with us, God richly bless you. With that being said we want to make sure our wedding guests are as comfortable as possible, so we have set the following rules in place... 1. We will have ushers in front of the ceremony & reception locations taking temperatures of EACH Guest (please note that this is highly recommended before entering both ceremonies AND reception!!). We are requiring guests to wear masks in the lobby/ common areas, please keep your mask on unless you are eating. Once you have been cleared to enter, please sanitize before going inside to find your seat. 2. Please be aware that we WILL still be following social distancing measures. Our halls have been so kind enough to ensure there is enough space in between each guest (at least 6 feet apart). Families & household members will be placed at the SAME table. 3. Please understand that our goal is to ensure you all feel as comfortable as possible while celebrating with us. We will be VERY strict about these guidelines above and any other CDC recommendations as well as recommendations from Maryland Governor Hogan. **Lastly we understand that with everything going on some loved ones may not feel comfortable attending our wedding and that is sincerely okay. We just plead with you to respectfully decline in the RSVP section if you are UNABLE to attend due to the pandemic or any other unforeseen circumstances. We need a solid guest count to properly set up our seating arrangements (please NO +1's!!). Please be honest if you will or will not be attending:). Kindly also note that NO RSVP means NO SEAT! Again we want to thank you all for your endless support, love, and prayers during this time. We love you, we are also praying for you all and please stay safe. God bless**

The tongue is a powerful weapon and it is very important that we use our tongue to do the right thing. "Power of the tongue" is what I would use to describe this entire relationship. I first met the groom in 2013 at a church event through my best friend and MOH, Candice. When I got to the program there was an empty seat in between Landy and another friend so I sat there. After I sat down, Landy and I exchanged quick greetings. Throughout the program we were laughing, telling stories, dancing and just having an awesome time in the house of the Lord. The program ended and we all met up outside for "second service" lol. That was when Candice attempted to do a proper introduction, but little did she know Landy and I were already acquainted. We laughed it off and it was late so I decided to go home. I remember walking to my car with Candice and expressing to her how handsome I thought Landy was (STILL IS !!). But then I told her he clearly must not be interested or he would have asked for my number. Fast forward to 2015 at his brother's graduation. I met his sweet mother and instantly she told me she wanted me to marry her son. While I thought it was quite funny I still entertained the idea because I thought it was super cute even though Landy was still in Ghana. August of 2015 Candice let me know that Landy was moving to the states for graduate school and of course I got super excited. In 2015, Landy came to my church for a visit. After church he let me know that he would be going to Cali and we should hang out before he leaves. I agreed and we had an UNO game night at his brother's place (I lost terribly). After losing I decided to go home and the handsome gentleman walked me to my car. After 3 years of knowing each other.. We FINALLY exchanged numbers!!

Landy and I had school consuming majority of our time so we were unable to talk as much. Feb 14th that year he told me that would be the last Valentine's day single (of course I laughed like there was no tomorrow because he was too confident) then unfortunately we went back to our scattered conversations. Fast forward to October 2016 when he called me after months of us not speaking and expressed to me how he really felt about me. He then told me that he plans to marry me by his next birthday (yes in my mind I felt like it was too soon lol). After that day, I took our relationship very seriously. He attended my graduation party that December and we spent majority of our time together until it was time for him to return back to school. His last semester was very busy, but in May of 2017 Landy presented me with a promise ring so by then I knew it was real. I started Grad school in Aug 2017, so Landy promised to wait until I was finished completely before making preparations for marriage. March 2019, Landy's parents met my dad in Ghana for what we all know as the traditional knocking and then my graduation proceeded 2 months after that (May 2019). On December 6th, 2019, the love of my life went down on one knee at the restaurant we had our very first date at and asked me to be his wife. I said YASSSSS!!!. My darling, you are the epitome of true love and you bring out the best in me :). I cannot wait to spend the rest of my life with you. Cheers to forever with you my King. Love you always xoxo <3

The journey has been beautiful and heavenly ordained. I had always known Lizzie through a mutual friend yet we had never met in person. I finally met her summer 2013 at a church event. Nature had it that, there was an empty chair next to me where Shoddie comfortably slid in. We had our side convos (mini service lol) in the middle of the service. I remember we vibed really well during and after the service convos. Time went by without us crossing paths. In 2015, Lizzie showed up at a game night organized at my brother’s place. We had fun and I finally manned up and took her digits that night. The rest, they say is h.......... I moved to LA for grad school in 2016. Juggling two jobs, full time grad school, and different time zones made it hard to keep constant communication. Additionally was me loving and exploring life in LA. However, spending my 2016 winter break in Maryland and that Christmas holiday season, got us much closer again whiles engaging in several indoor and outdoor games. These great moments got dimmed when I told Lizzie there was a lady I was talking with. That never stopped us from being in constant communication this time around. I remember that winter was when Lizzie had completed college and threw a graduation party which I attended. At the party, I met her siblings a couple of her family and i said to myself they all pretty cool something which was very important to me.

We kept talking when I went back to LA and by then I was ready to make it official. Lizzie was soo happy when I asked her to be my lady. I was really moved by how serious she was with pursuing grad school and as such counseled and assisted her through the school application process. I moved back to Maryland in October 2017 because it was hard getting a job after grad school. Liz had started schooling and working when I moved back to Maryland yet she was so supportive through my job hunt. She would fast and pray with me, send countless job posting my way and would even apply to jobs for me in some cases. This is how helpful and serious she was with her man’s success. Her love for God and how she cared about the people around her convinced me she was the right lady to embark the marriage journey with. Third year into our relationship, I had started actively praying to God about how ready I am to pursue this. I finally proposed to my princess charm in December 2019 after seeking the blessing of her parents and siblings. She least expected the proposal that night and barely could hide her emotions with crying. Today we are here, happily planning and getting ready for our big day. I’m all pumped up and super excited to spend forever of our lives together. Is my prayer God continue to build and grow us in love. Love you my finest, refined, gorgeous baddie wife to be..Cheers to forever wifey ❤️❤️❤️❤️
