What began as a simple connection on Facebook in 2023 quickly turned into something neither of them expected but both were ready for. Whitley made the first move, and from the very beginning, their conversations felt natural, genuine, and full of purpose. It didn’t take long for their friendship to grow into something deeper. Whitley realized she had found “the one” during a trip that changed everything. While traveling together to Dubai, Tyvonne shared that he wanted to explore every beautiful country in the world with her by his side, through every season of life. Surrounded by new experiences and shared dreams, it became clear that their love was meant to last. Grounded in faith and guided by God, their relationship continued to grow stronger. Love, trust, and prayer became the foundation of everything they built together. Along the way, their journey expanded into something even more meaningful as they became a blended family of eight. Five beautiful children and Loui who are the heart of their home and the greatest blessing of their lives. On December 21, 2025 surrounded by friends and family who have supported and loved them from the beginning, he asked Whitley to spend forever together. It was a moment filled with joy, gratitude, and overwhelming love. Now, with God at the center and their family united, they are excited to begin this next chapter. On August 15, 2027, in Branford, Connecticut, they will say “I do” and celebrate a love that was written with intention, strengthened by faith, and sealed by family. They cannot wait to share this day and their forever with all of their loved ones.
5:30 pm - 11:00 pm
