This website is an information hub for our upcoming traditional ceremony on July 27th and wedding on July 28th. Here you will find detailed information regarding our special weekend. We are grateful to God for guiding our path and we can't wait to celebrate our love with our favorite people. We sincerely thank you for all of your love and support!
Our paths first crossed during our time at Case Western Reserve University, where we navigated the challenges and triumphs of being Black students in a predominantly white institution. It wasn't until Vanessa's senior year and Levite's junior year that fate intervened and our story truly began. Vanessa was tasked with inviting friends to a mutual friend, Oluchi's, surprise birthday party. Vanessa extended the invitation to Levite via GroupMe, and their conversation continued from there. While Levite and Vanessa were getting to know each other, another mutual friend, Kato, intervened. Kato told Levite that Vanessa was interested in him! This gave Levite the assurance he needed to open up more to Vanessa about his feelings for her. Despite our seemingly opposite interests and backgrounds, we found an unexpected connection that defied explanation. Our first date, watching Jordan Peeleās "Us" at the movies, marked the beginning of a unique journey together. As our relationship grew, we realized that our differences complemented each other in ways we never expected. On April 22, 2019, we officially became a couple.
