Tell us a little about you and your beloved: I met Marcus through the army. We both were enlisted soldiers and I was stationed at the same army base as him. I met him my first day with my new unit. He invited me to go out with him to a party that night. And he ask to see me everyday after that. I couldn’t resist his sweet Georgia accent and perfect big o’ lips.
What was the most amazing part of your day? The best part of our wedding was the ceremony. Seeing Marcus standing there, waiting for me to make it down the aisle. He stood there and I watched how nervous and excited he was, then he said his vows so strong and confident I knew he meant every word. He wrote them himself.
What else would you like to share about your big day? My family made my wedding a dream come true and we are so blessed to have them. They put my whole wedding together for me over the phone because I was active duty army and stationed away from home.
