Fairy-Tale at the Apollo  ~June23

What's so special about our union is that we became friends at The Apollo Theater in Harlem, in 2000. Never in our wildest dreams did we imagine that we would be joined as husband and wife at the Apollo Theater in 2007. Like a fairy-tale, it was a dream come true. This is our royal wedding. I felt like a Queen walking down the aisle to her King. 

It was a romantic day filled with long-lasting memories that we will cherish forever. We are honored & privileged in joining our hearts in such a historical landmark and to be the first couple to be wed in the Apollo Theater’s 93 year history, is the icing on the cake. With a house filled with so much love from our family & friends, we were truly at home and blessed.

We are living happily ever after.
