Coming out of Covid late June 2020, a message tab came across my phone * ting * . It was a request to do a wedding that was only 2 weeks away. I was shocked. We all know during those times that any moment lockdown could happen. Those were unprecedented times.
As the day starts off early we head to the Ritz-Carlton for the grooms prep. The place was a bit too extravagant for someone like myself, but a first time for everything. We were greeted by Ali. Boy was he snazzy, pimped out. The man not only dressed fly but looked the part.

We rushed over to Montgomery Hall. Never heard of it before? You should most definitely check it out! Located in upper Claremont - Beautiful, yet classy with a hint of heritage.
Tucked away underneath this beautiful venue like Cinderella, was the bride getting ready for her big day. Her dress was poised remotely giving off the essence of The Great Gatsby.

She had confidence, pizzazz, a strong aura but an elegant heart.
As they held one another, Ilaam gave Ali a warm & reassuring look. With her eyes sparkling, she knowingly declared that he is my person.
And as for Ali, as he gives a subtle gesture, face gently tilted with a smile fading into the dusk of the mellowing winter night, knowing that he would give up anything to be with her. He knew then and always that in his arms, she was his world.
