Vernice and Jafari celebrated their union with a charming sky blue and champagne wedding at The Piedmont Room in Atlanta, Georgia!
Vernice and Jafari met organically and fell in love with each other. Shortly after having their beautiful son, Jafari proposed to Vernice on her birthday during an intimate and romantic dinner.
We were the last customers in the restaurant. Very intimate. I was crying like a baby, it was a beautiful moment.
