TELL US ABOUT YOUR LOVE STORY  

Tavon and I met way back in 2015! We played basketball together and have been together ever since! In December of 2019, we got engaged right before COVID-19 hit, and we found out we were expecting right after! Fast forward to 2022, and we are happily married! 

DESCRIBE YOUR BRIDAL STYLE. TELL US ABOUT YOUR DRESS-SHOPPING EXPERIENCE.  

I wanted to feel like a princess! Just naturally beautiful, nothing taking away from me or my dress! I wore my grandma’s pearls and earrings that just tied it all together. 

I absolutely loved my shopping experience at True Society – Grand Rapids! It was my first day of dress shopping, and I found my dream wedding dress. By the 6th dress I tried on, I knew I had found the Stella York wedding dress for me. I just felt like a princess!

Our wedding was a beautiful indoor event! We had pictures from the beginning of our relationship to now throughout the venue. We had personalized photo frames for everyone to sign and confetti butterflies at every table as well!
