Tell us how you met and all about the proposal. The two officially met at the Gate City Alumni Chapter, Young Alumni Mixer in 2009.
For the proposal, Crystal planned Brent’s 35th birthday party. The irony is she also planned the Alumni mixer that brought them together initially in 2009. While Crystal was consumed with making sure that her love, Brent, had a great time on that evening; Brent was more concerned with making a lifetime of great memories together. Prior to the party, Brent actually had no plans to propose but the power of God and his love for Crystal were so overwhelming that he could not let that moment pass by. An hour before the party it was final in his heart, this was the day that he would ask her to be his wife. So, in front of over 100 guests and with the last-minute blessings from her parents, just five minutes before, Brent dropped to one knee and asked Crystal for her hand in marriage. Immediately following, the disc jockey played “Let’s Get Married” by Jagged Edge. Because of their shared commitment to family it came as no surprise to those witnessing that Brent decided to do something so special on his birthday (July 9, 2016) in front of all of their loved ones. His loud cry of “I love her” and her resounding “yes” to his question only reaffirmed what everyone else already knew; they were made for each other and this was indeed their season for LOVE.

Wedding Style: City Chic DC style, bright colors, and blended families with a touch of southern hospitality. Flowers were coral, fuchsia pink, teal – the bride was so in love with her bouquet!
The church is the foundation of their faith and it was a must that they confirm their love inside of a church and one that Crystal called home away from home.

What was wedding shopping like for you? After a few tries, I found the right dress! I was with my mother and other family members and they were all in support of my decision.
I had a vision on what shoes I wanted to wear however finding them locally was a task. It wasnt until I was in Seattle for work that I happen to go shopping and found my shoes in my size, this just made everything come together.

Bridesmaids/Groomsmen gifts: The girls received personalized bags with individual gifts based on personality and they also received their jewelry for the day-of. The guys also received personalized toiletry bags and special socks that they were to wear day-of.
